The Well Cuttings Collection consists of well cuttings from 7,376 oil and gas wells in Virginia. This collection is available for study by scientists, citizens, government agencies, and by industry. DGMR is developing an online web-based application for searching and viewing the information about these well cuttings.

This dataset is a collection of unpublished geologic field maps and transfer maps that represent over 100 years of field data collected by Virginia geological survey staff. These field records include hand-drawn notes, strike and dip, contacts, economic, structure and paleo information. Some maps have been scanned and are available digitally. Most maps are located in our Charlottesville, Va offices in paper format. All are unique, one-of-a-kind documents.

The sinkhole locations shown on these maps have been digitized and are available as a draft ESRI shapefile. DGMR plans to complete a quality control analysis and modifications of the digital representation of these locations prior to release to the public.

The Mineral Resources of Virginia (MRV) Program oversees the inventory of specific mineral occurrences, prospects, mines, quarries, and other mining and processing sites of base and precious metals, industrial minerals, and energy resources in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The resulting information is formatted for inclusion in the MRV database. The goal of the MRV Program is to establish and maintain a digital database of statewide mineral and energy resources information to serve the following purposes: Preserve key information about mineral occurrences, mines, prospects, oil and gas extraction sites, and mining-related processing sites in a digital archive; Support public safety and environmental investigations;...

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Geologic Sections dataset consists of site-specific, large-scale geologic cross-sections (composite sheets). These sections were acquired from VDOT in order to save them from disposal. There are 5,500 geological profiles created for highway construction projects containing extensive core, auger and split-spoon logs at scales of 1:50 and 1:100 providing a unique record of subsurface geological and geotechnical data along roadways throughout Virginia. The thousands of feet of vertical subsurface data represents millions of dollars of investment in data acquisition by VDOT. The sections are useful as indicators of subsurface geology in large parts of Virginia. ...

The Coal Quality Data Collection includes results of laboratory analysis for 375 coal samples collected as part of a cooperative sampling program between DGMR and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The samples were collected by DGMR staff during the period from 1975 to 1988 from a six county area in the Southwest Virginia Coalfield. A total of 38 coal beds are represented in the sampling program. For each sample location there are laboratory results for Proximate and Ultimate analysis, ash-fusion temperatures, and major- and minor- element analyses.

The Aerial Photographs Collection consists of high- and low-altitude, black and white (B/W) and color (C) aerial photographs taken between 1936 and 2002. Flight coverage is mainly in Virginia, but there is also overlap into the adjoining states of Kentucky, Maryland, and West Virginia. Photo coverage is not complete for the entire state for any given flight year. A minor part of the collection (<5%) includes infrared photos. The photos are generally in paper format and suitable for use as stereo pairs. Many of the photos were taken during 1950-60 as part of the U.S. Geological Survey program to photo-revise the topographic map series. Photo-mosaic index maps are unavailable for many of the flight missions.

The collection consists of sample location information and laboratory geochemical characterization of Virginia's carbonate rocks. Laboratory analytical data includes major and minor constituents, and trace element analyses, reflectance and chlorine content analyses on a selected subset of the samples. This data is available for study by scientists, citizens, government agencies, and by industry. DGMR maintains this collection to support the wise use of Virginia's resources by providing quality geologic and mineral resource information. The collection consists of about 5,400 sample analyses currently stored in the Virginia Geologic Information Catalog.

The Historic Uranium Exploration Information Collection consists of scanned images of reports, maps, laboratory analyses, and other data that was collected by Marline Uranium Corporation during the period from 1979 to 1985. The documents pertain to the Coles Hill uranium deposit located in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Most of this information has been scanned and is available in PDF format. There are approximately 1,500 digital files associated with this collection.

The Borehole Database for Virginia provides information about boreholes drilled by Virginia Energy as part of on-going geologic mapping studies conducted in the Coastal Plain of Virginia. This collection is available for study and sampling by scientists, citizens, government agencies, and by industry. Virginia Energy maintains this collection to support the wise use of Virginia's resources by providing quality geologic and mineral resource information. The collection includes records for approximately 1,800 boreholes, with location information, lithologic log, and interpreted formation contacts. These boreholes were drilled for water wells, geologic research, geotechnical engineering studies, and environmental...

The Historic Topographic Maps Collection consists of compiled and digitally rendered two series of topographic maps for Virginia. Historical topographic maps can be useful resources for those interested in researching the changes in a particular area over time. Maps of different ages can also illustrate how development has occurred in a location. These map series were produced by the United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the Commonwealth of Virginia. They are in 15-minute and 30-minute quadrangle format, respectively, and range in age from 1884 to 1962. Detailed map explanations for each series have been scanned separately. PDF indexes have also been created to make maps of interest easier to locate....

The Division of Geology and Mineral Resources (DGMR) Publications Index consists of a database with information on DGMR's Geologic Publications. This includes all formal publications as well as bulletins, information circulars, mineral resource circulars, open file reports, report of investigations and mineral resources reports. The index will provide basic information such as title, author, abstract and a link to the DMME Web Store where customer can purchase hard copies or download copies for free.

The geophysical data collection consists of geophysical data sets that are relevant to Virginia and include seismic lines, basemaps, processed seismic data, magnetic data, aeroradiometric surveys, gravity surveys, etc. This collection covers a variety of seismic studies completed by numerous companies and institutions. Seismic data is stored in the Natural Resources building as paper maps, magnetic tapes, film, and digital files. The geophysical data collection is accessible by appointment with DGMR staff.
