GSI Bedrock Faults 100k

This is a subset of the GSI Bedrock Linework 100k layer from which only faults are displayed. This data represents the latest version of the faults linework from the bedrock geological dataset for the Rep of Ireland at the 1:100,000 scale digital geological map series. For the complete layer which includes additional linework data see https://dcenr.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a40f6a8ca91f4340a86b12649d831d74

Purpose

Bedrock is the solid rock at or below the land surface. Over much of Ireland, the bedrock is covered by materials such as soil and gravel. The Bedrock map shows what the land surface of Ireland would be made up of if these materials were removed. As the bedrock is commonly covered, bedrock maps are an interpretation of the available data. Geologists map and record information on the composition and structure of rock outcrops (rock which can be seen on the land surface) and boreholes (a deep narrow round hole drilled in the ground). Areas are drawn on a map to show the distribution of rocks. To produce this dataset, the twenty one 1:100,000 paper maps covering Ireland were digitised and borders and overlaps between map sheets were removed. We collect new data to update our map and also use data made available from other sources. For the complete layer which includes additional linework data see https://dcenr.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a40f6a8ca91f4340a86b12649d831d74
