---|---|
FORMATION | The map unit symbol used on the published map. This is the item that is related to the map coverage. This is not necessary a formation in the normal usage. It is a map unit. (String of width 11) |
UNIT_NAME | The map unit name from the map explanation. (String of width 75) |
ROCK_TYPE | The general rock category from the map explanation. Generally this is something like sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic. (String of width 50) |
ERA | Geologic era from the map explanation. (String of width 24) |
SYSTEM | Geologic system from the map explanation (String of width 24) |
SERIES | Geologic age information from the map explanation. (String of width 24) |
LITH1, LITH2, LITH3, LITH4, LITH5, LITH6, LITH7, LITH8 | Lithology from the map explanation. LITH1 is the first-described lithology, LITH2 the second, and so on to LITH8. (String of width 40) |
LOCATION1, LOCATION2 | Notes on location of this particular map unit within the state. Some state maps have differing lithologic descriptions for a single geologic unit in different geographic portions of the state. (String of width 60) |
COMMENTS | Other information from the map explanation. (String of width 70) |
MTCARB | Summary field used for symbolizing derivative maps. (String of width 3) |
