Coal-Bearing Regions and Structural Sedimentary Basins of China and Adjacent Seas: Structural sedimentary basins

The purpose of this dataset is to give geologists and other scientists a spatial database of structural sedimentary basins in China. This data set will be utilized in energy research and cartographic projects. This dataset is a collection of structural sedimentary basin locations in The Peoples Republic of China. Included in this dataset are the age and name of each structural sedimentary basin. Procedures_Used: The structural sedimentary basins were digitized from the Energy Mineral Resource Map of China and Adjacent Seas, published in 1992 by the Geological Publishing House, Chinese Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources Information and Institute of Mineral Deposits of Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, utilizing ARC/INFO.
