Arnsbergian (Late Mississippian) Cephalopods
  Arnsbergian age rocks in the Chainman Shale are found in the Jensen Member. The lower part of the Manning Canyon Shale in the Wasatch Range is also of this age. The fossil cephalopods shown below are from these rocks in the Burbank Hills of western Millard County, and the latex casts are from molds found east of Provo.
