Group: Summary
  To delineate geologic province boundaries in Open File Report 97-470F
  Maps Showing Geology, Geologic Provinces, and Oil and Gas Fields of the
  The Far East, which is being compiled as a small scale geologic reference
  for the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project assessment
  of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources
  of the world.
  This coverage is being published in the form of an Arc/Info export
  file and ascii files of topology and attributes as an addendum to
  Open File Report 97470F.
  
  This coverage includes arcs, polygons and polygon labels that describe
  U.S. Geological Survey defined geologic provinces of the Asia Pacific
  Region (Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Fiji,
  Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Caledonia,
  New Zealand, North Korea, Papua New Guinea, Philippines,
  Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand,
  Tonga, Vanuatu and Vietnam.).  Each province has a set of
  geologic characteristics distinguishing it from surrounding provinces.
  These characteristics may include the dominant lithologies, the age
  of the strata, and the structural style.  Some provinces include
  multiple genetically-related basins.  Offshore province boundaries
  are defined by the 2000 meter bathymetric contour
