Geological Survey 1 CD-ROM http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2003/of03-001/ Cape Cod Bay, lying on the Massachusetts coast partly enclosed by Cape Cod, is in a glaciated region of low relief. Coarse sediments generally occur in areas exposed to wave and current action as in shallow water near shore or on shoals, and in the deep channel north of the tip of Cape Cod, which is swept by tidal currents. Fine sediments are restricted to the deeper water in the central portion of the Bay, and to the small well-protected embayments of the shore. Although Hough (1942) is available as part of the NGDC Deck 41 Database, additional data from the original report were manually entered and, therefore, this file is unque. The purpose of this data layer is to release a digital vrsion of the data published by Hough (1942). 1942 publication date Complete None planned -70.605000 -70.102000 42.158000 41.752000 USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:54af79cd-3deb-422c-bbf3-9b733c7c50db None U.S. Geological Survey USGS Woods Hole Science Center WHSC Coastal and Marine Geology Program sediments lithology texture Open-File Report 03-001 CMGP sediment classification surficial classification point shapefile points GIS Geographic Information System ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans location geoscientificInformation USGS Thesaurus navigational data geospatial datasets sea-floor characteristics marine geology None Cape Cod Bay New England Massachusetts U.S. East Coast Atlantic None Public domain data from the U.S. Government are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution.

All attributes were entered and checked in a consistent manner. No additional checks for topological consistency were performed on this data. Sample locations, lithologic descriptions, grain-size data, navigation, and identifiers are provided for 156 stations. Navigation was by line of sight. Navigational accuracy is unknown. J.L.

Some of the source information was taken from NGDC's Deck41 database (e.g. identifiers and lithologic descriptions); some information was manually entered into digital form (e.g. median). This file was imported from an ASCII text file to an ArcView table. The table was later converted to an event theme in ArcView and saved as the final shapefile. hough42.txt 20020916 hough42.shp hough42.dbf hough,shx Lawrence J.

Woods Hole MA 02543-1598 USA (508) 548-8700 x2314 (508) 457-2310 lpoppe@usgs.gov Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.32 flagged. This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent. 20151202 U.S. Geological Survey VeeAnn A. Cross Marine Geologist mailing and physical address
