The Lithofacial Map of the Quaternary 1 : 50,000 (LKQ 50) is a map series of the GDR covering nearly the whole former state territory besides the South of Saxony and Thuringia. The series consists of 123 map sheets, each of which encompassing several horizon maps mostly complemented by about five cross sections. Specifications concerning map content and structure provides Cepek (1999). The data of the LKQ 50 map sheet 1769 Schwedt provided here were digitised in frame of the Geo3D-Oder project of the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). The data includes elements of the five horizon maps 1769-2, 1769-3, 1769-4, 1769-5 and 1769-6 and of the five cross sections schnitt 1 to schnitt 5. The topics of these maps and sections are defined in a general legend (version 3). Furthermore, the legends of the single horizon maps provide a stratigraphic and genetic classification of the depicted strata. For each horizon map the digitised elements comprise several polygon shapefiles of the single layers, a polyline shapefile of isohypses related to layer bases, a point shapefile of lithological profiles and a polygon shapefile of additional information concerning areas of heavy strata deformation and insufficient investigation. The data of each cross section includes a polygon shapefile of the horizon section areas, a polygon shapefile of the section areas concerning regions with heavy layer deformation or insufficient investigation and a shapefile showing the transect line to locate the cross section. Non-numeric contents of the attribute tables are encoded by numbers and are translated in full text by means of key tables. The key table Normalprofil allows the stratigraphic and genetic classification of horizons displayed in horizon maps and cross sections by code numbers of the column N_ID. Detailed descriptions concerning the data structure are provided in the attachments. Reference: Cepek, A. G.
