...Marco Vecoli; John H. Beck; Paul K. Strother Abstract Palynomorph assemblages recovered from the Kanosh Shale at Fossil Mountain, Utah, are dominated by operculate acritarchs and cryptospores with minor smaller acritarchs. The present findings add new data to the largely incomplete knowledge...

... contributed to these conglomerates by submarine sliding. The Table Head Formation is correlated with the Antelope Valley Limestone, Nevada, and parts of it with the Kanosh Shale and Lehman Formation of western Utah and with the Swan Peak Formation of eastern Utah. Affinities between trilobites of the Table...

...Paul K. Strother; Wilson A. Taylor; John H. Beck; Marco Vecoli ABSTRACT Cryptospores from the Dapingian–Darriwilian Kanosh Shale at Fossil Mountain, Utah, USA, occur as tetrads, dyads, irregular clusters, or planar sheets of spore dyads. These spore ‘thalli’ are placed into the new taxon Grododowon...

...Colin D. Sumrall; James Sprinkle Abstract An unusual, new, giant edrioasteroid Bizarroglobus medusae n. gen. n. sp. is described from the Middle Ordovician Kanosh Shale of west-central Utah. This species has a pattern of ambulacral branching with side ambulacra arising alternately from a main...

.... Both the metamorphosed and non-metamorphosed rocks are of the carbonate facies which is characteristic of the eastern Great Basin. It is possible to correlate the phyllite with the Kanosh Shale of the Pogonip Group on the basis of the graptolite assemblage, composition, and stratigraphic position...

... are Canadian and the Juab limestone, Kanosh shale, and Lehman limestones and quartz arenites are Chazyan. The limestone formations extend into central Nevada with little variation, but the Kanosh shale and the post-Pogonip Swan Peak quartzite and Crystal Peak dolomite all grade laterally into an expanded...

..., are described below in more detail. The Kanosh Shale, Lehman Limestone, Eureka Quartzite, and Fish Haven Dolomite are discussed and compared with the similarly named formations of the allochthonous sequence.

... of these brachiopods. Lithologically and faunally this unit closely resembles the Kanosh Shale as described by Hintze (1951) , although the section exposed here may extend into the Juab Limestone below. The remaining 200 feet of section below the Eureka Quartzite is predominantly siltstone with a few shale...

... Formation itself is in a study of its hardgrounds by Wilson et al. (1992) . The conclusion of Ross et al. (1989 , p. 169) that the Kanosh was a “black shale” deposited in anoxic conditions contrasts with the findings by Wilson et al. (1992) of a diverse oxic fauna that lived in situ on the Kanosh...

... biostratigraphic framework Upper Ibex and lower Whiterock strata consist of massive to thinly bedded grainstones, packstones, wackestones, and carbonate mudstones interbedded at the meter scale with shales ( Hintze 1951 , 1973 ; Ross et al. 1997 ). The primary study section is Hintze's (1951 , 1953...

... in the basal Ibexian House Limestone ( n = 19) is an order of magnitude lower than the peak value for the Whiterockian (Kanosh Shale, n = 377), so the Kanosh Shale actually contains more trilobite beds, despite their much lower percent abundance. The primary signal in Li and Droser's data is the profound...
