Purpose: This dataset was developed to provide a simplified geologic GIS database for Wyoming.

They loaded the vector images into ARC/INFO and attributed each vector and polygon. For this report, Wilson imported the data into MapInfo 6.0 and combined the rock units to make a simplified map based on general ages and lithologies.

The USGS makes no guarantee or warranty concerning the accuracy of information contained in the geographic data. The USGS further makes no warranties, either expressed or implied as to any other matter whatsoever, including, without limitation, the condition of the product, or its fitness for any particular purpose. The burden for determining fitness for use lies entirely with the user. Although these data have been processed successfully on computers at the USGS, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made by the USGS regarding the use of these data on any other system, nor does the fact of distribution constitute or imply any such warranty. In no event shall the USGS have any liability whatsoever for payment of any consequential, incidental, indirect, special, or tort damages of any kind, including, but not limited to, any loss of arising out of use of or reliance on the geographic data or arising out of the delivery, installation, operation, or support by the USGS. Technical_Prerequisites: The user should have GIS software capable of reading ArcView shape (.shp), or MapInfo table (.tab) files. In the event the user does not have such software, ESRI's ArcExplorer is provided as a rudimentary tool for viewing and querying the data.
