Data_Quality_Information:
  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Location and geometry of cross-section features are estimated by the stratigrapher.  They represent the theoretical geometry of geologic units at-depth, based on surface exposure of geologic features.  The interpretation is conjectural and is not intended to represent actual subsurface conditions.
  Logical_Consistency_Report: The cross section feature dataset contains representations of subsurface geologic features which are based on the at-depth stratigraphic interpretation of geologic structures identified at the lands surface, and, where available, subsurface data such as well logs and seismic data.  Generally, subsurface data is too sparse in this area to allow for fully accurate representations of subsurface structures.  Therefore this dataset represents the stratigrapher's interpretation of the available data.  The graphic data has been tested for consistency through the application of ArcGIS topologic testing.  Polylines were tested to a 0.001 tolerance for overlap or gaps between line features and adjacent geologic formation polygons.
  Completeness_Report: Omissions in geologic data would be due primarily to lack of subsurface data or hidden or undiscovered surface units.  The stratigrapher has employed accepted standard procedures and due diligence to ensure the construction of reasonable geologic models.
  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Location and geometry of geologic features are estimated by the stratigrapher.  They represent the theoretical geometry of geologic faults at-depth, based on surface exposure of geologic features.  The interpretation is conjectural and is not intended to represent actual subsurface conditions.
