Oklahoma strike and dip data

6,682 structural measurements in Oklahoma, digitized from 54 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 Oklahoma holds:

Measurement typeGeometryMeasurementsShare
Other Planar — strike and dip 5,11577%
Bedding Planar — strike and dip 1,51323%
Vein / dike Planar — strike and dip 50<1%
Fold hinge / axis Linear — trend and plunge 4<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.
