1 Murchison House West Mains Road Edinburgh EH9 3LA Tel 0131 667 1000 © NERC All rights reserved BGS Digital Map Teaching Set for universities

2 © NERC All rights reserved BGS Digital Map Teaching Set A data package comprising : 12 geological map sheet areas spanning a range of geological complexity and patterns Scanned image of paper maps as PDFs ArcMap (GIS) project containing: o DiGMapGB-50 (all layers) o Borehole locations and hotlinks to scanned records o Digital Terrain Models (incl. NextMap) o Aerial photography

3 © NERC All rights reserved BGS Digital Map Teaching Set E31 Brough under Stainmore Interaction of horizontal strata with topography; strike-slip and extensional fault systems; overstep unconformities; sills Isle of Wight special sheet Interaction of inclined beds with topography; onlap boundaries; simple monoformal folding E119 Snowdon Open folding; extrusive igneous rocks Bristol District special sheet Unconformities, folding, thrusts

Very common fieldwork location S28 Knapdale Ductile deformation; polyphase folding. Common fieldwork location S15W/E Leadhills/New Cumnock (=old Sanquhar sheet) Terrane boundaries; thrusting; building up multi-event geological histories Arran special sheet Multi-event histories; diverse geological relationships. Common fieldwork location
