B10, 74 p., https://doi.org//10.3133/tm11B10. The purpose of this data release is to provide Geologic Map Schema (GeMS)-compliant data for the geologic map of the White Rock Canyon quadrangle, Carbon County, Wyoming. Development and publication of modern GIS data for geologic maps is foundational and high-priority to the USGS Mineral Resources Program (MRP) to facilitate on-going research and other activities pertaining to critical mineral deposits as well as to other geologic and geophysical mapping efforts, petrologic studies, and mineral resource assessments. WhiteRockCanyon_GQ-789.gdb is a composite geodataset that conforms to "GeMS (Geologic Map Schema) - A standard format for the digital publication of geologic maps," available at http://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Info/standards/GeMS/. A shapefile version of the dataset is also available. It consists of shapefiles, DBF files, and delimited text files and retains all information in the native geodatabase, but some programming will likely be necessary to assemble these components into usable formats. The Esri file geodatabase (WhiteRockCanyon_GQ-789.gdb) contains the following elements: --GeologicMap: feature dataset (subdirectory) containing the following feature classes (GIS layers): ----CartographicLines: line layer (feature class) representing cross section lines. ----ContactsAndFaults: line layer representing locations of contacts and faults. ----DataSourcePolys: polygon layer representing the spatial extent of data sources and (or) references used within the map boundary. ----GenericPoints: point layer representing fossil locality and prospect pits. ----GeologicLines: line layer representing the locations of dikes, fold axes, and other linear features. ----MapUnitPolys: polygon layer representing the distribution of geologic map units. ----OrientationPoints: point layer representing orientations of bedding, foliation, lineation and minor folds. --DataSources: table that lists sources and (or) references used to derive spatial features (points, lines, and polygons) and attribute information. --DescriptionOfMapUnits: table of map unit descriptions derived from the collar of the geologic map or geologic map pamphlet. The hierarchical order of map units is coded in the HierarchyKey field. --GeoMaterialDict: table that defines and lists lithology terms in hierarchical order used in the GeoMaterial field of the DescriptionOfMapUnits table. The standardized vocabulary is available in Appendix 1 of the GeMS documentation. --Glossary: table that defines and lists sources of terms used in the database.

Lakewood CO 80225 US 303-236-1921 303-236-3200 jhorton@usgs.gov Work was accomplished by the U.S. Geological Survey Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center (GGGSC) with support from the Mineral Resources Program (MRP) and the National Geologic Map Database (NGMDB). Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 22H2 (Build 19045.3693); Esri ArcGIS Pro 3.1.1 Unique values in attribute fields were checked through frequency analyses. The unique values in each attribute field were reviewed and checked for spelling, consistency of terms, accuracy, adherence to established vocabularies, and completeness. Text terms and values entered by USGS authors were reviewed and verified. Confidence that a feature exists and confidence that a feature is correctly identified are described in per-feature attributes ExistenceConfidence and IdentityConfidence. GIS layer and attribute information were extracted and digitized directly into the GeMS database structure. Attribute values were modified for consistency with GeMS terminology. Topology tests were conducted on polygon and line feature classes to ensure spatial integrity of the data. Point, line, and polygon features were digitized from the printed map (Hyden and others, 1968) and quality assured for completeness. Textual information from the original printed map 'Description of Map Units' section was transcribed into the DescriptionOfMapUnits table. Horizontal accuracy of point, line, and polygon features is dependent on the accuracy of the 1:24,000 scale source map. Map publication techniques employed in 1968 resulted in variable line quality and accuracy. Estimated accuracy of horizontal location, provided on a per-feature basis in the attribute field LocationConfidenceMeters in GeMS, was assigned a value of -9 indicating unknown. Vertical accuracy testing does not apply to this dataset. Harold J. Hyden Robert S. Houston John S.

The angle of the fault is usually 45-90 degrees, and in most cases close to 60 degrees. Neuendorf and others, 2011 foliation A general term for a planar arrangement of textural or structural features in any type of rock, esp. the locally planar fabric in a rock defined by a fissility, a preferred orientation of crystal planes in mineral grains, a preferred orientation of inequant grain shapes, or from compositional banding. In igneous rocks, planar parallelism of flaky or tabular minerals and mineral aggregates, slabby xenoliths, or flattened vesicles as well as compositional layering. In metamorphic rocks, planar parallelism of flaky minerals and compositional layering. Neuendorf and others, 2011 foliation, vertical Foliation that has tilted vertical (90 degrees). Neuendorf and others, 2011 fossil locality The location where a fossil sample was collected. Number refers to fossil collection on file with U.S. Geological Survey. Hyden and others, 1968 key bed A well-defined, easily identifiable stratum or body of strata that has sufficiently distinctive characteristics (such as lithology or fossil content) to facilitate correlation in field mapping or subsurface work. Neuendorf and others, 2011 landslide block Gravity-emplaced block that retains stratigraphic coherence after downward or rotational displacement. Hyden and others, 1968 lineation, crenulation A lineation defined by the hinges of small folds (crenulations) associated with crenulation cleavage. Neuendorf and others, 2011 lineation, mineral A linear fabric element defined by the preferred orientation of inequant mineral grains (e.g. prismatic grains of horneblende) or elongated grain aggregates. Neuendorf and others, 2011 lineation, pebble A lineation parallel to the maximum stretching direction, commonly defined by elongated mineral grains or mineral aggregates, or the long axes of deformed objects such as vesicles, ooids, or reduction spots. Neuendorf and others, 2011 map boundary A line representing the boundary of the mapping area. Hyden and others, 1968 minor fold A small-scale fold that is associated with or related to the major fold of an area. Neuendorf and others, 2011 prospect pit A general term for any shaft, pit, adit, drift, tunnel, or drill hole made for the purpose of prospecting mineral-bearing ground. More specific terms, such as prospect shaft and prospect pit, are generally used. Informal term is dog hole. Neuendorf and others, 2011 syncline, plunging A syncline in which the hinge line is inclined to the horizontal. Neuendorf and others, 2011 water boundary The outline of a body of water (lake) and/or stream.
