The facies data layer (PAC_FAC.txt) represents concatenated information about components (minerals and rock type), genesis (igneous, metamorphic, carbonate, terrigenous), and other appropriate groupings of information about the sea floor. These data are parsed from written descriptions from cores, grabs, photographs, and videos, and may apply only to a subsample as denoted by the Top, Bottom, and SamplePhase fields. The value "0" in a defined facies field does not necessarily imply lack of the components defining that field, but may imply a lack of data for that field. Table 6 (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/2006/182/table6.html) in the Larger_Work_Citation gives for a list of the facies, the contributing components, and relative weights. The facies layer can be used to investigate the known information about a particular area of the sea floor. These data are intended for science researchers, policy makers, students, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information. This layer can be used in a relational data base, using the DataSetKey to link to the PAC_SRC.txt file for brief metadata information and to formal metadata written on each source, and to the other data files of usSEABED using the SiteKey or SampleKey as relational links. 2006 publication date In work As needed -127.88000 -117.02848 48.72750 31.75000 USGS Metadata Identifier USGS:81ec0101-08d2-4cea-9c56-211544fb34ab ISO 19115 Topic Category Oceans Location GeoscientificInformation Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Marine Sediments Biogenic Sediments Sediment Chemistry Sediment Composition Sediment Textures Stratigraphic Sequence Terrigenous Sediments Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) Marine Nearshore Marine Offshore Estuarine Coastal Borderland Continental/Island Shelf Continental/Island Slope Rock Substrate Unconsolidated Mineral Substrate Data Categories for Marine Planning distributions sand resources substrate Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB) keywords seabed sediment resources sand deposit USGS Thesaurus sea-floor characteristics nonmetallic mineral resources gravel deposits sand deposits geology unconsolidated deposits None Seabed Sea floor Sediment Components Features Genesis Descriptions Analyses usSEABED dbSEABED U.S. Geological Survey USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program CMGP Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center PCMSC Woods Hole Science Center WHSC Benthic Habitats (Pacific) Project Marine Aggregates Resources and Processes Project University of Colorado UC Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research INSTAAR National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service NMFS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) United States of America Pacific Ocean State of California State of Oregon State of Washington Puget Sound Willapa Bay Grays Harbor San Francisco Bay Monterey Bay Santa Monica Bay San Pedro Bay None Pacific coast West Coast Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) Oregon, Washington, Vancouver Coast and Shelf Ecoregion Northern California Ecoregion Southern California Bight Ecoregion Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) Substrate None USGS-authored or produced data and information are in the public domain from the U.S. Government and are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution.

Halimeda Kilbourne, Carolynn Box, Tara Kneeshaw, Jennifer Mendonca, April Villagomez, Monica Iglecia, and Adam Jackson. Tkme: Another editor for formal metadata by Peter N. Schweitzer (U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, VA 22092), version 2.9.13, Microsoft Windows Version 5.1; Microsoft Word 2000 9.0 Accuracy of each attribute is dependent on the accuracy of the original source description and the values calculated by the mining software, dbSEABED. Values are based on filters using fuzzy set theory and represent a measure of truth about the attribute. Data in the usSEABED data collection are based on the observations and analyses of others, filtered through a unifying and mining software. Each source report varies in type of information/data recorded and format. Only those observations that are recorded can be filtered and mined; only presence (not absences) of information can be noted. Additional useable data may exist in this area; the authors appreciate any information and leads. Locational accuracy is dependent on both the accuracy of the navigational technique and the level of detail about the location as recorded in the individual data sources, and may vary widely (ie.g., from 0.005 km (differential GPS) in the more recent surveys to greater than 2 km based on radar, Loran, or dead reckoning in the older surveys. Users of the data should note the metadata written about the original sources and use their own criteria for assessing the accuracy of the locations. Depth determinations, both water depth and subsample depth, are dependent on the accuracy of the depth determination technique and the level of detail noted in the original source. Users of the data should note the metadata written about the original sources and use their own criteria for assessing the accuracy of the locations. Various Unknown Hard copy documents and digital files Various Various Hard copy and digital 1840 2003 Source publication date or date of collection PAC_FAC.txt Point locations, descriptions, and various analytical data (textural, granulometric, geochemical, geophysical, acoustic) on sediments, rock exposure, and benthos. Contributions vary with source. Over 300 sources, both published and unpublished, are used as the sources of information for usSEABED. Metadata for each source is given through the Data Sources page (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/2006/182/pac_sources.html) and relationally linked to the data through the file https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/2006/182/data/pac_src.txt (PAC_SRC.txt). Sources include the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Minerals Management Service (MMS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the University of Washington, Seattle, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Universities of California, Berkeley, Los Angeles, and San Diego, University of Southern California, San Jose and Humboldt State Universities, Naval Postgraduate School, Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) and other educational institutions, the Maryland and New Jersey State Geological Surveys (MGS, NJGS), U.S. Navy, Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP), other local and regional consortia and authorities, NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), the Smithsonian Institution, and others. Source data may be digitized as necessary (typed or scanned in), with a visual inspection of digitized data to the source report and corrections as necessary, and are tested for completeness in Microsoft Excel as appropriate. Other digital data may be decoded using source-specific programs, downloaded via the web, or sent directly to the USGS or University of Colorado via email. Data are formatted into the dbSEABED Data Entry template (db9_DataEntry.xls, version 05/27/05) by hand, and tested using the dbSEABED relational database program (RDBi, version 01/05/2005) for correctness of formatting. For consistency, simple unit changes may be done. Data are compiled into source data resource files (DRF) and were processed on 12/22/05 through the dbSEABED data mining program (MNEv, version 12/18/2005) program, using the dbSEABED thesaurus (db9_dict.rtf, version 10/29/2005) and component set up file for U.S. waters (SET_ABUN.txt, version 07/20/2005), and the facies set up file for U.S. waters (SET_FACI.txt, version 07/20/2005). Data are iteratively reprocessed and corrected until noted errors are fixed, as recorded by the _RBDS.2fx and _MNE.DGN files. Data are exercised in a GIS for location tests and useability.
