During the Mississippian rocks of the Chainman Shale were deposited in the Antler Foreland Basin. Fossil cephalopods are very common in these rocks in west-central Utah and eastern Nevada. Asbian age members of the Chainman Shale include the Skunk Spring Limestone Bed and the lowest beds of the Camp Canyon Member. The fossil cephalopods shown below are from these rocks in the Confusion Range of Millard and Juab Counties.
