DATASET CONTENT & FILE OVERVIEW

1. File list: 
	WOFR2022-03-dataset01-readme.txt (this file)
	
	Castle_Rock_Long_Hollow_GIS.gdb (file geodatabase feature classes):
		Base_Ancell: Interpreted raster of the base of the Ancell Group
		Base_Decorah_Formation: Interpreted raster of the base of the Decorah Formation
		Base_Galena_Formation: Interpreted raster of the base of the Galena Formation
		Base_Platteville: Interpreted raster of the base of the Platteville Formation

		Field_data: Point dataset of field observations and measurements
		Fold_axes: Polyline feature class containing the interpreted axial trace of mapped folds
		Unit_polygons: Polygon feature class containing geologic map units. The symbology for the polygons should be imported from the Map_polygons.lyrx file.
		WCR_base_Ancell_points: Point feature class of well construction records that have been interpreted to intersect the base of the Ancell Group.
		WCR_base_Platteville_points: Point feature class of well construction records that have been interpreted to intersect the base of the Platteville Formation.
	
	Metadata folder (geospatial metadata for GIS data in TXT and HTML formats)
	
	Map_polygons.lyrx (Layer file for map polygons for use in Esri ArcGIS Pro software)

2. Data-specific information: Includes raster datasets of the base of the Ancell Group, base Platteville Group, base Decorah Formation, and base Galena Formation. Also includes feature classes of unit contacts, field data, well-construction reports, and polygons of map units. Data are in file geodatabase (.gdb) format.
