  Description:
    Abstract:
      This dataset represents structural features of the Appalachian basin including a variety of faults and folds.
    Purpose:
      This dataset can be used to display structural features of the Appalachian basin including a variety of faults and folds. It is available in shapefile and Zipped Keyhole Markup Language (KMZ) formats, and can be viewed using ArcGIS, Google Earth, or any software package that supports these data formats.
    Supplemental_Information:
      Some of these faults were previously unavailable, while others have been published previously. Please look below for a detailed listing of sources for these data.
