Superficial deposits in Norway in various mapscales - best of. The Superficial Deposits of Norway (best of) is a database giving full coverage of the superficial deposits throughout Norway. High resolution data at scales of 1:20 000 to 1:50 000 exists for only about 30% of the country, mostly in areas where superficial deposits are of significant economic importance. The deposits are classified according to their genesis and thickness.

The GEOLT1000 dataset was created from geological map of the Republic of Lithuania at scale 1:200000. The dataset was processed using ArcGIS 10.0 software.

The Geological Map of Finland depicts the main features of bedrock geology in Finland. In this dataset bedrock areas are classified according to rock types and ages. The dataset is an improved version of the Geological map of the Fennoscandian Shield. The legend has been revised in cooperation with the geological surveys of Sweden and Norway.

The GEOBG100 dataset was created during the period 1995-1997 by digitizing the paper version of the Geological map of Bulgaria at a scale of 1:100 000. This consists of 86 coloured flat sheets, covering the whole onshore territory of the country. The map is available in a Bulgarian or in an English edition. The dataset is digitally integrated and available in MapInfo and ArcGIS formats.

BSS is the French Boreholes database containing information from about 700 000 boreholes, accompanied by 2 000 000 pages of technical documentation. BSS contains raw information about geology and the technical details of the procedures used to drill the boreholes. This information is provided by operators under the terms of French law (Code Minier art. 131 à 136).

The GEOBG500 dataset was created in 1995 by digitizing the paper version of the Geological map of Bulgaria at a scale of 1:500 000, that was published in 1989. This consists of 2 flat coloured sheets covered the whole territory of Bulgaria. The map has been produced in a combined Bulgarian-English edition and was compiled using the Geological Map of Bulgaria at a scale of 1:100 000 as a base, combined with data from the National Geofund. The dataset is digitally integrated and available in MapInfo format.

The first version of the contiguous digital map was compiled by Š. Káčer et al.(2005) under the terms of the geological project Digital Geological Map of the Slovak Republic at a scale of 1: 50 000. In addition to areal, line and point information, the following separate layers are available: a list of the background documents, classification of the data in terms of quality, a review of the scheme used for classification of geological units and structures. The areal information provided on the digital map includes: the unified legend and the original legend showing the characteristics and occurrence of individual lithotypes across the whole territory of Slovakia.

The dataset for the Geological Map of Estonia has been created by vectorizing the paper version of the Bedrock Geological Map of Estonia at a scale of 1:200 000 and has been published in 1997. The map shows areas of bedrock classified into geological units according to the types of rock and their ages. In addition, fault zones in the bedrock are also depicted.

The map sheets of the Geological Atlas of Switzerland give detailed information about the uppermost layers of sediment and bedrock. Geological formations are represented by colours, conventional signs and symbols, according to their age, composition and tectonic structure. The topographic base used in the preparation of this series is the Swiss National Map at 1:25 000 scale. For each sheet published, there is also an explanatory booklet in which the geological formations and special features depicted on that sheet are described. These maps are an indispensable tool for geologists, engineers, planners, government departments, scientists and schools.

Geological map of the Quaternary of Slovakia at a scale of 1 : 500 000 compiled by J. Maglay et al. showing different types of Quaternary deposits according to their origin. The map plainly shows the spatial distribution and surface extent of all primary, as well as some selected "transitional" genetic types of Quaternary sedimentary and volcanic rocks in Slovakia. It presents a basic picture of the sequence of their evolution and their patterns of distribution and deposition. A component of the map is a lithostratigraphic classification of the Quaternary of Slovakia.
