SummaryThe Late Precambrian and Early Cambrian strata in eastern California and Nevada can be divided into 3 facies – the eastern Craton, the White-Inyo, and the Death Valley. These 3 facies supply evidence of 3 trilobite zones – the Fallotaspis, the Nevadella and the Bonnia-Olenellus; the inter-relationships are outlined. Correlations with the Siberian Platform successions are discussed and the Precambrian–Cambrian boundary is tentatively placed within the beds of the upper Reed Dolomite in the White-lnyo Range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
