What does this data set describe?

Title:
Seismotectonic maps in the vicinity of the lower Wabash Valley, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky - Digital Spatial Database: Lamprophyre and peridotite intrusions
Abstract:
This cover includes locations of alkaline ultramafic igneous rocks. The igneous rocks are evidence for Permian extensional reactivation of the faults of continental rifts in the map area. The igneous rocks are Permian lamprophyres and mica peridotites.

  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?
    Date: 31-Jul-1997 (process 1 of 2)
    Locations of igneous dikes and sills, and wells and mines that penetrated igneous rocks in Illinois, were digitized as arcs and points from the Paducah CUSMAP project (B.J. Stiff, written commun., 1996). Locations of igneous rocks in western Kentucky were digitized from geologic maps by Trace (1962, 1966, 1974, 1976), Amos (1967, 1974) and Rogers and Trace (1976). Wheeler and others (1997) describe seven additions and one deletion to the Illinois and Kentucky compilations.
    Another cover, magdike, contains the locations of near-surface dikes from analyses of high-resolution aeromagnetic data obtained from Hildenbrand and Ravat (1997).

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

  1. How well have the observations been checked?
    The attribute accuracy is described, where present, with each attribute defined in the Entity and Attribute Section.
  2. How accurate are the geographic locations?
    Some locations were digitized off page-size figures and so locational accuracy is poor. Locations are for relative locations and reference. Where greater accuracy is desired, see original reports or contact original sources.
  3. How accurate are the heights or depths?
  4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
    data are complete as well as known
  5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
    Chain-node topology present.

How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
