Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>This data set was updated in 2014 by the Wyoming State Geological Survey. Polygons were merged, description information was completed, and geologic units were converted to representations to retain unit colors and patterns.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>The geologic map was digitized by Green, G.N., and Drouillard, P.H., 1994, from original scribe sheets used to prepare the published 1:500,000-scale Geologic Map of Wyoming (Love and Christiansen, 1985). Stable base contact prints of the scribe sheets were scanned on a Tektronix 4991 digital scanner. The scanner automatically converts the scanned image to an ASCII vector format. These vectors were transferred to a VAX minicomputer, where they were loaded into Arc/Info. The dataset includes both linear and polygon features, with attributes derived from the original 1985 map. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:16 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Original images (Map, Legend, and Sources): </SPAN></SPAN><A href="http://www.uwyo.edu/geolgeophys/about/geologic-map-wyoming.html"><SPAN><SPAN>http://www.uwyo.edu/geolgeophys/about/geologic-map-wyoming.html</SPAN></SPAN></A></P><P STYLE="margin:16 0 14 0;"><SPAN>Updated data set available for download through the WSGS web site: www.wsgs.wyo.gov/ or WyGISC GeoLibrary : http://wygl.wygisc.org/wygeolib/catalog/main/home.page</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>DIGITAL DATA INFORMATION:</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>GEOLOGIC SYMBOLOGY (</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>FGDCGeoAge font used for labeling Special Characters in SYMBOL field</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>):</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>Mz = Mesozoic</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>Pz = Paleozoic</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>K = Cretaceous</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>^ = Triassic</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>IP = Pennsylvanian</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>_ = Cambrian</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>&lt; = Proterozoic</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>Y = Middle Proterozoic</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>X = Early Proterozoic</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>W = Late Archean</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>V = Middle Archean</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>U = Early Archean</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:16 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>FOOTNOTES (fn):</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 24;"><SPAN><SPAN>1.
