Description:
Abstract:
This digital map database, compiled from previously published and unpublished data, and new mapping by the authors, represents the general distribution of bedrock and surficial deposits in the mapped area. Together with the accompanying text file (cdbegeo.txt or cdbegeo.ps), it provides current information on the geologic structure and stratigraphy of the area covered. The database delineates map units that are identified by general age and lithology following the stratigraphic nomenclature of the U.S. Geological Survey. The scale of the source maps limits the spatial resolution (scale) of the database to 1:24,000 or smaller.
Purpose:
To provide current information on the geologic structure and stratigraphy of a geologic map of the Cordelia and the northern part of the Benicia 7.5' quadrangles, California.

Data_Set_Credit:
We are grateful to the following U.S. Geological Survey paleontologists who have examined our fossils and provided ages necessary to establish the stratigraphic sequence and structure: David Bukry (Cretaceous and Tertiary nannoplankton), Kristin McDougall (Tertiary foraminifers), William Sliter (deceased - Cretaceous and Eocene foraminifers), John Barron (Tertiary diatoms), Charles Powell II (Tertiary mollusks), and Bonita Murchey (Mesozoic radiolaria).
We are also very grateful to managers and staff of Chevron, EXXON, UNOCAL, ARCO, and Shell Petroleum Companies who have provided reports, maps, picked slides, and residues for about 25,000 microfossil localities in the San Francisco Bay Region.
Carl Wentworth kindly provided advice on digitizing and editing procedures. Ed Helley provided materials and advice on Quaternary units.
Native_Data_Set_Environment:
The digital compilation was done in version 7.0.4 of ARC/INFO with version 3.0 of the menu interface ALACARTE (Fitzgibbon and Wentworth, 1991, Fitzgibbon, 1991, Wentworth and Fitzgibbon, 1991).
