Abstract
This report describes a preliminary study of some evaporites that occur in the Upper Cambrian part of the Notch Peak Formation in the southern House Range of western Utah (Taylor and Glanzman, 1979). The occurrences of halite and gypsum were first reported by James F. Miller in a guidebook article published in 1978. Miller implied a primary origin for the evaporites; that is, formation in association with the original depositional environment, but he did not study the deposits in detail.
