The data are supplied in ESRI shapefile format.
geopt.shp: Contains points recording site-specific observations
and measurements, such as strike and dip of bedding. In the
sbpnt.pat INFO file, the PTTYPE item lists the type of point
symbol, e.g., strike and dip of inclined bedding. The STRIKE
item contains the strike of bedding as well as trend of fold
axis, where applicable. Strike is an azimuthal angle. Measured
in degrees from 0 to 360 in a clockwise direction from North,
the STRIKE value also specifies the dip direction, where the dip
direction is 90 degrees clockwise relative to the STRIKE. The
DIP item contains the dip of bedding as well as plunge angles,
where applicable. This value is an angle measured (in degrees 0
to 90) down from the horizontal; thus, a horizontal dip is 0
degrees and a vertical dip is 90 degrees.
