Description:
Abstract:
This is a 1:50,000 scale datalayer of bedrock geology for Connecticut. Bedrock (also known as ledge) is the solid material that underlies the soil or other unconsolidated material of the earth. The bedrock geology datalayer is comprised of a shapefile of polygon features and a shapefile of line features. Bedrock geologic formations are described as polygons in terms of formation name (incorporating geologic age), rock type, and tectonic terrane association. Tectonic forces are responsible for the present day geologic configuration of the continents. Resulting terranes are regionally fault bounded rocks of a similar tectonic history. Each terrane is named after its plate tectonics ancestry. Geologic lines include contacts, faults, and terrane boundaries. Terrane boundaries are named for the faults involved. The geologic contacts and faults are delineated and classified by type. A complete description of the bedrock mapping units with mineralogical descriptions and a brief history of Connecticut geology are included for reference. The data source is from John Rodgers, Bedrock Geological Map of Connecticut, 1985 (Connecticut Geological and Natural History Survey, DEP, in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey, 2 sheets, 1:125,000 publication scale). This datalayer was digitized from a set of 1:50,000 scale regional sheets used for compilation of the 1:125,000 scale published map. The regional sheets were compiled to a common publication base from 1:24,000 scale mylar originals prepared from geologic quadrangle mapping and other interpretations. Additional historical information is in map notes. For a stratigraphic correlation of bedrock units, major regional and statewide tectonic structures, and cross sectional views of the State's geology, please refer to the 1:125,000 scale Bedrock Geological Map of Connecticut. The Bedrock Geological Map of Connecticut is available for purchase at the DEP Store.
Purpose:
Data are intended for reference purposes only. Only use this datalayer with other 1:50,000 scale datalayers such as Major Roads, Town Index, or Subregional Basins and not with the more spatially accurate 1:24,000 scale datalayers. Features are represented as line features.
