This dataset is the bedrock geology layer of the Precambrian shield area of the Province of Saskatchewan merged from 1:250,000 scale compilation map series.
This dataset shows 1:250 000 scale bedrock geology of the Precambrian Sheild area of the Province of Saskatchewan. Mapping in support of the dataset includes many years of field observations which were compiled at 1:250 000 scale and intergrated into this dataset. The data was created as a file geodatabase feature class and output for public distribution.
Data was compiled by the staff of the Saskatchewan Geological Survey. Any products derived from the use of the data provided by the Saskatchewan Mining and Petroleum GeoAtlas must be cited with the layers and date used to create said products.

Not all data has been validated. Some polygons, points or polylines may have errors, inconsistencies or issues that have not yet been corrected.
Areas of the southern part of the province were omitted as it is covered by glacial overburden.
Internal feature number.

The largest unit of geologic time. Primary geologic time division comprising of two or more Era's.
AGI - Glossy of Geology
A major division of geologic time comprised of a number of Periods (two or more) where a system of rocks is formed. (In some cases, ranges of Era are noted.)
AGI - Glossary of Geology
The designated, basic unit of geologic time where a standard rock system is formed. (In some cases, ranges of Periods are noted.)
AGI - Glossary of Geology
Most commonly, a sequence of two or more contiguous or associated formations with significant and diagnostic lithologic features in common.
AGI - Glossary of Geology
A geological formation is the unit of lithostratigraphy that consists of a certain amount of rock strata that have a comparable lithology, facies or other similar properties.
A member is a named lithologically distinct part of a formation. Not all formations are subdivided in this way and even where they are recognized, they may only form part of the formation.
A geologic or geomorphic province or domain is a spatial entity with common geologic or geomorphic attributes. A province may include a single dominant structural element such as a basin or a fold belt, or a number of contiguous related elements. Adjoining provinces may be similar in structure but be considered separate due to differing histories.
USGS
The description of rocks in outcrop, on the basis of characteristics such as colour, mineralogic composition and grain size. The physical character of a rock.
