Authors: K.M. Nichols and N.J. Silberling
First recognized as a major natural subdivision among the pre-Tertiary strata of northern Nevada more than 100 years ago, the Star Peak Group is a distinct natural grouping of largely marine calcareous strata that range from Early to middle Late Triassic age. These strata occur in scattered exposures within an area exceeding 5,000 km2. The authors' regional synthesis presents an unusually compact example of lateral and vertical interrelations representing depositional environments from supratidal to below wave base.
