Structural Measurement Atlas
Atlas / States / Missouri

Missouri strike and dip data

6,072 structural measurements in Missouri, digitized from 29 published geologic maps across 3 sources. Every row carries its azimuth, inclination, measurement type, location confidence and the citation of the map it came from.

What kinds of measurement

The Atlas separates planar structures, recorded as a strike and dip, from linear ones, recorded as a trend and plunge. This is what Missouri holds:

Measurement typeGeometryMeasurementsShare
Other Planar — strike and dip 4,60076%
Bedding Planar — strike and dip 1,32822%
Foliation Planar — strike and dip 1272%
Vein / dike Planar — strike and dip 17<1%

Where the data comes from

Each source is a survey, agency or program whose published mapping was harvested and reconciled into one schema. Rows are published only where the source's terms permit redistribution.
