| Description
This database delineates the geologic unit diabase dikes mapped at a scale of 1:500,000, for the state of Georgia. This rock unit is depicted on the Geologic Map of Georgia published by the Georgia Geologic Survey in 1976. As part of the reconnaissance mapping during the year 1973, diabase dikes were included with the other rock units on the Geologic Map of Georgia. Descriptions of the dikes are based on field observations and megascopic identification of the rock type. Other similarly appearing rock types may be included as diabase dikes. This database adds the diabase dikes omitted during preparation of the original version of the Digital Geologic Map of Georgia. This database is designed to be used in conjunction with Version 2 of the Digital Geologic Map of Georgia. |
