Cooperative National Geologic Map: Quaternary geology Cooperative National Geologic Map: Quaternary geology

The USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP) was directed by Congress to create a new geologic map of the United States” by “bring[ing] together detailed national and continental-resolution 2D and 3D information produced throughout the Survey and by federal and state partners” (House Report 116-100). To fulfill this goal, the NCGMP created a map synthesis engine...

K-Ar and Ar-Ar age data for some Cenozoic and pre-Cenozoic rocks in the eastern Mojave Desert area and southern Sierra Nevada, southwestern United States K-Ar and Ar-Ar age data for some Cenozoic and pre-Cenozoic rocks in the eastern Mojave Desert area and southern Sierra Nevada, southwestern United States

We report rock and mineral K-Ar isotopic dates from 55 Cenozoic rocks and 49 pre-Cenozoic rocks from the eastern Mojave Desert in southeastern California, Nevada, and Arizona and 3 pre-Cenozoic rocks from the southern Sierra Nevada, California. For many of the samples two separate minerals were dated. We also report Ar-Ar dates from 7 pre-Cenozoic rocks in the eastern Mojave Desert.

Structural measurements in the Grand Canyon region Structural measurements in the Grand Canyon region

This is a data release of a .csv file that provides measurements of structural features in the Grand Canyon region. These data document structural attitudes, used to describe the orientations of geologic features in three dimensions. Included fields describe the type of geologic feature mentioned, the azimuth and inclination of the measurement (for planar data these correspond to the...

Geologic map database of the Bison Range and vicinity, northwestern Montana Geologic map database of the Bison Range and vicinity, northwestern Montana

This data release provides Geologic Map Schema (GeMS)-compliant GIS data for new geologic mapping of the Bison Range and surrounding area on the Flathead Reservation, northwestern Montana. The database represents the geology for the 150 square kilometer, geologically complex map area, at a publication scale of 1:24,000. The map covers parts of Sanders and Lake Counties, Montana. All...

Preliminary Digital Database for the Portola 30' x 60' Geologic and Geophysical Map, California Preliminary Digital Database for the Portola 30' x 60' Geologic and Geophysical Map, California

This geospatial dataset compiles, in digital form, geologic and geophysical data for the Portola 30’x 60’ quadrangle, located in the northern Sierra Nevada, California. This geologic map of the Portola 30’x 60’ quadrangle integrates decades of published and unpublished mapping in the northern Sierra Nevada. In conjunction with geophysical data, including more than 1000 new gravity...
