petroleum provinces of the World.
Abstract: This shapefile includes arcs
and polygons that describe U.S. Geological Survey defined geologic
provinces of the World. 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.
