“…trails); hi thin section sponge spicules are observed. Member is tentatively correlative with the Bunker Hills member of Page (1995) and member d of Pampeyan (1993) Member forms significantly steeper slopes and small cliffs compared to the more gradual slopes of the underlying Scotty Wash Quartzite (Msw) and the overlying limestone-rich member (!Pb2). Map unit may be as much as 400 m thick but minor normal faults affect the thickest section to an unkown degree…”

“…Several intermediate thrusts are between the Muddy Mountain (and equivalent thrusts) and Gass Peak thrusts. These include the Delamar thrust in the southern Delamar Mountains (B-B') (Page, 1990), the Meadow Valley and Vigo thrusts in the Meadow Valley Mountains (B-B') (Pampeyan, 1993), and the Dry Lake thrust and other unnamed thrusts in the Arrow Canyon and Dry Lake Ranges (D-D', F-F', and G-G') (Page, 1992;Page and Dixon, 1992). The Summit Willow Tank thrust is a secondary thrust fault below the Muddy Mountain thrust in the Muddy Mountains (E-E' and F-F') (Bohannon, 1983).…”

“…5). Faults in the fault zone are exposed in the Paleozoic carbonate rocks on the east flanks of the Meadow Valley Mountains (Schmidt, 1994) and Arrow Canyon Range (Page, 1992;Schmidt and others, 1996), and in the Cenozoic basin-fill deposits in lower Meadow Valley and California Wash. East-striking faults intersect the north-striking faults (Schmidt and others, 1996;Schmidt, 1994;Page and others, 2005) and potentially enhance permeability. Seismicreflection data (Scheirer and others, 2006) indicate an east-trending buried bedrock ridge separates lower Meadow Valley Wash basin from California Wash basin (fig.…”
