This data set is a portion of a statewide geology database, which is being compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey's National Surveys and Analysis (S&A) project, whose goal is to compile geologic geochemical, geophysical, and other data.
Supplemental attribute tables included with this data set contain additional descriptive information of each geologic unit. A user may use items SOURCE and CLASS to retrieve information about the original units from which these generalized units were formed.
NOTE: Because of limitations of common GIS fonts, the letters 'Tr', 'Mz', 'Pa', and 'Pz' are substituted for the standard symbols for 'Triassic', 'Mesozoic', 'Pennsylvannian', and 'Paleozoic'.
