Collection includes metadata records of rock cuttings and core that are retained by the Washington Geological Survey in our core repository warehouse. These samples were derived primarily from oil and gas wells, though some geothermal wells, and landslide core logs are also included.

Records in this collection are classified into one of four categories that best characterizes the data contained within the borehole record. The classifications are: Geotechnical: Boreholes and pits created with the intent to gain a detailed understanding of the subsurface lithology and soil or rock properties therein. These records have additional data beyond lithologic descriptions including penetrometer resistance, shear and strength tests, density measurements, etc. Lithologic borings: Boreholes are drill solely for the purpose of identifying subsurface lithology. Material testing techniques were not used (or the results are not provided) to allow for a more detailed understanding of subsurface material properties....

Field notes dating back to early 1900s are kept in the Washington Geological Survey library. Hundreds of volumes exist in the physical collection. Last notes in the library are from the 1980s when available space become a limitation. More recent notebooks are either retained by active staff or kept in the offices and at risk of being discarded. A storymap describing the collection is available at https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/77e291f5658a40af80029e025a8735e6
A collection of curated citations with hyperlinks to scanned copies where available for publications relating to Washington's mineral resources for the EarthMRI focus minerals.

Geologists use the term 'Industrial Minerals' to describe nonmetallic minerals that have economic or industrial uses. Their characteristics, means of formation, and industrial use are highly variable. The Washington Geological Survey has electronically compiled nonmetallic mineral data including maps and reports for Washington State.

These data were compiled from the scans of original thin sections held by the Washington Geology Survey. It is not a complete inventory at present, the Washington Geological Survey intends to add more to this dataset as time and resources permit.

Metallic minerals are elements or compounds that are generally hard, shiny, malleable, and usually have good electrical and thermal conductivity and high density. These characteristics make them desirable for use in most of the products we use every day. We have electronically compiled thousands of documents, maps, and data from multiple sources to provide access to metallic mineral data in Washington State.
This folder contains the WGS geologic mapping datasets converted to GeMS standard format.
