Horton, J.D., 2023, GIS data for geologic map of Precambrian metasedimentary rocks of the Medicine Bow Mountains, Albany and Carbon Counties, Wyoming: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9WR0WYI.

Type: Related Primary Publication

The purpose of this data release is to produce a Geologic Map Schema (GeMS)-compliant version of the geologic map of Precambrian metasedimentary rocks of the Medicine Bow Mountains, Albany and Carbon Counties, Wyoming. Conversion and publication of the geologic map in modern GIS format (for example, as an ArcGIS geodatabase) is considered to be foundational and high-priority by the USGS Mineral Resources Program (MRP) to facilitate on-going research and other activities by the MRP pertaining to critical mineral deposits as well as to other geologic and geophysical mapping efforts, petrologic studies, and mineral resource assessments. These data reside in the National Geologic Map Database (NGMDB) distributed archive of standardized geoscience information for the nation.
