User defined items in data tables for line coverages of
contacts
>contact
nature of geologic unit contact, may be frame, approximate, exposed, or concealed. Frame is arc along the quadrangle boundary.
User defined items in data tables for line coverages of
faults
f_type = confidence-level of fault location: approx, inferred, mapped, projected
fault_type = type of fault: dipslip, strikeslip, unkown
movement = sense of movement on fault
User defined items in data tables point coverges of
structural data
dip = angular measure of dip of planer feature
azimuth = 360 degree compass direction of planar or linear
feature = 360 degree direction of linear symbol
type = type of feature: bd = bedding, bdh = bedding
horizontal, if = inclined igneous foliation, vf = vertical
igneous foliation, nic = nonthroughgoing inclined
close-spaced joints, nim = nonthroughgoing inclined
medium-spaced joints, niw = nonthroughgoing inclined
medium-spaced joint; nvc = nonthroughgoing vertical
close-spaced joints, nvm = nonthroughgoing vertical
medium-spaced joints, nvw = nonthroughgoing vertical
widely-spaced joints, tim = throughgoing inclined
medium-spaced joints, tiw = throughgoing inclined widely
spaced joints, tvc = throughgoing vetical close-spaced
joints, tvm = throughgoing vertical medium-spaced joints,
tvw = throughgoing vertical wide-spaced joints, jmv = joint
with movement, mnf = minor fault.
symbol_ang = symbol angle calculated for proper plotting in Arc/Info
dip direction, will be 90 or 270 degrees off of
azimuth = sense of rotation, depending on direction of dip
