This is the Geological Map of New Zealand (Mainland) dataset collection produced by GNS Science. The mapping frame within which the features have been observed is typically defined as surface geology (i.e. the bedrock and superficial deposits that are exposed at the topographic surface or would be visible if the overlying soil was removed). The data structure complies with the GeoSciML 4.1 standard, where relevant, and uses the appropriate CGI Controlled Vocabularies. This dataset collection should be cited as Heron, D.W. (custodian) 2023: Geological Map of New Zealand 1:250 000 (4th ed.) [digital data]. Lower Hutt (NZ): GNS Science. (GNS Science geological map; 1). https://doi.org/10.21420/5XTJ-5718.
