Summary

This dataset includes a point shapefile representing structural measurements taken from a study area near the South Kawishiwi Intrusion in the Duluth Complex, Minnesota and a line shapefile representing the surface traces of the structural measurements. The structural measurements point file consists of a compilation of data from multiple published and unpublished sources. The surface trace file was created from these point data using an ArcGIS toolbox 'surface trace' tool (Open-File Report 2019-1136). The surface trace lines represent the lateral extension, projected onto the ground surface, of a geologic feature represented by the structural measurements.

Purpose

This dataset provides structural data for rocks of the South Kawishiwi Intrusion, Duluth Complex, Minnesota, which is host to copper, nickel, and platinum group element mineralization. This dataset can be used to plot in a GIS and show the lateral extension of planar geologic features projected onto the ground surface.
