Nebraska strike and dip data

47 structural measurements in Nebraska, digitized from 2 published geologic maps across 1 source. 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 Nebraska holds:

Measurement typeGeometryMeasurementsShare
Bedding Planar — strike and dip 3064%
Other Planar — strike and dip 1532%
Lineation (mineral, stretching) Linear — trend and plunge 24%

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.

Most-measured map units

Where a source recorded the geologic unit a measurement was taken on, the Atlas keeps it. These are the units carrying the most measurements in Nebraska.
