siltline coverage: contains cross-section lines and a synclinal fold axis line. In the siltline.aat INFO file the NAME item indicates the name given to the structural feature. The SOURCE item contains the numeric code used to identify the data source for the structural feature. The DESC item contains the written description or explanation of the contact, boundary, or structural feature. The SYMBOL item contains the lineset symbol number used by ArcInfo to plot a line. The symbol numbers in this coverage refer to the geol_sfo.lin lineset.

siltpnt coverage: Contains points recording site-specific observations and measurements, such as strike and dip of bedding. In the siltpnt.pat INFO file the PTTYPE item lists the type of point symbol, e.g., strike and of inclined bedding. The MARKER item lists the markerset used for a particular PTTYPE. MARKER value 1 = GEOSCAMP2.MRK, 2 = OILGAS.MRK, 3 = USGS.MRK. OILGAS.MRK and USGS.MRK are standard ArcInfo markersets. The SYMBOLCD item lists the marker symbol used by ArcInfo to identify the type of structural map symbol. Symbol numbers refer to symbols in the 3 markersets listed above. The STRIKE item contains the strike of bedding. Strike is an azimuthal angle (measured in degrees from 0 to 360 in a clockwise direction from North). The DIP item contains the dip of bedding. 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. The CALCANG item contains an interim value used to calculate SYM$ANGLE. The SYM$ANGLE item is the angle used to mathematically rotate the map point symbol to its proper orientation on the map. This item was set equal to the pseudoitem '$ANGLE' (calc SYM$ANGLE = $ANGLE). The SOURCE item lists the numeric code used to identify the data source.
