Abstract

This dataset represents the simplified bedrock geology of the Richelieu project. The study area includes contiguous watersheds of Yamaska and Richelieu rivers, and the Missisquoi Bay. In the study area, there are three major geologic contexts: St. Lawrence platform, Appalachians and Monteregian intrusions. These contexts cover respectively 53%, 45% and 2% of the study area.

Lineage is the description of the sources and steps used to create the current dataset.

Introduction
General process description
Process step Sources
Data extracted from the Richelieu project. Bedrock geological units were assigned a lithologic class based on the dominant composition with the understanding that some units are too complex to be assigned a single lithologic class, in order to render the map in a uniform national map. The original classification of the unit is still available in the dataset, along with a link to the Lexicon of Canadian Geologic Units (http://weblex.nrcan.gc.ca/). The GeoSciML / IUGS lithological classification has been used as a standard earth material vocabulary (http://resource.geosciml.org/).
