The Banner Formation is a Carboniferous period geologic formation in northern Elko County, Nevada. [2]
It is composed of conglomerate, sandstone, and limestone and was formed in connection with the Antler orogeny.
It preserves fossils dating back to the Early Late Mississippian [3] stage of the Carboniferous period during the Paleozoic Era. [4]

The Vinini Formation is a marine, deep-water, sedimentary deposit of Ordovician to Early Silurian age in Nevada, U.S.A. It is notable for its highly varied, mainly siliceous composition, its mineral deposits, and controversies surrounding both its depositional environment and structural history. The formation was named by Merriam and Anderson for an occurrence along Vinini Creek in the Roberts Mountains of central Nevada and that name is now used extensively in the State.
