Entity_and_Attribute_Information:
Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: Digital data provided include sampler, subsample location (downcore), color (Munsell code), carbonate percent, percents of gravel, sand, silt, clay, moment mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis of grainsize distribution, granulometric analyses in one-phi increments, percents of liquid limit, plastic limit, porosity; plasticity index, wet bulk density (gm/cc), void ratio (/1), and saturated void ratio (/1).
Distribution_Liability: Although this dataset has been used by the USGS, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made by the USGS as to the accuracy of the data. Users of the data should be aware of limitations of the data due to possible imprecision due to navigational inaccuracies, limitations of the statistical data, and digitizing errors.
