This is a Vector data set. It contains the following vector data types (SDTS terminology):
Horizontal positions are specified in geographic coordinates, that is, latitude and longitude. Latitudes are given to the nearest 0.000000. Longitudes are given to the nearest 0.000000. Latitude and longitude values are specified in Decimal degrees.
The horizontal datum used is North American Datum of 1927.
The ellipsoid used is Clarke 1866.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378206.400000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/294.978698.

The purpose is to disseminate a digital version of a regional map showing the distribution of vibracores collected in Long Island Sound as part of the ICONS program of the USACOE. These cores can be used to provide useful information about the framework geology in this region.

Data sources produced in this process:
All attribute data were entered and checked by the compilers in a consistent manner.
80,000 scale.
Tides are less than 2 m
Core locations are provided for 96 cores with unique core ids (USGS assigned), 73 of these cores have ID's that correspond to the Williams (1981) technical paper. Core descriptions are not available for every core location.
No additional checks for topological consistency were performed on this data set.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
