Version 1.0 was produced April 1997, following a development project to unify
1:10 000 scale and 1:50 000 scale map symbols (CS/R&D/7).

Version 2.0 was produced February 1999, following geological updates, and inclusion of line
styles and area ornaments.
1 Introduction

1.1 This document was put together from information created using MicroStation
from Bentley Systems and CellManager  from Axiom International. It was
also designed to accompany three digital libraries, which may be released at
some future time.

Standard Geological symbols

1.2 The geological symbols are described in section 2.

1.3 The BGS standard length for an average symbol is 3mm at 1:25 000 scale and all
smaller scale maps, and 4mm for 1:10 000.

The Reference names are an abbreviated form of their description, many are
grouped together in their geological classification with a common prefix as
follows;

ALV Alluvial deposits

BRK Brickearth
GFL Glaciofluvial deposits
GLA Glaciolacustrine deposits
GL Glacial deposits
IGL Interglacial deposits
LAC Lacustrine deposits
MA Marine deposits
RM Raised marine deposits
RS Rock symbols
RT River terrace deposits
S Structural symbols
SG Sand and gravel
