      Edition: unpublished data
      Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: tabular digital data
  Description:
    Abstract: This table feature class contains the map unit names, abbreviations, labels, ages and descriptions of the geologic formations and units contained in this geodatabase.
    Purpose: Descriptors of geologic units and formations.
    Supplemental_Information: This table is joined to the "MapUnitPolys" and "SurfaceGeologyPolys" feature classes in the GeologicMap feature dataset.  The table was originally included in the ESRI Geologic Mapping Template and adapted for use in this geodatabase.

Data_Quality_Information:
  Logical_Consistency_Report: Map elements were visually checked for overshoots, undershoots, duplicate features, polygon closure and other errors by the GIS project coordinator and GIS specialist(s) who created the digital data. Hard copy prints of the map were reviewed by the MGS geologists for consistency with basic geologic principles and general conformity to mapping standards.
  Completeness_Report: Updates may occur as needed or as additional data become available. Check MGS website for version number or contact MGS Publications Office (see Distribution_Information).  Data are complete based on compilation at 1:24,000 scale.
