Offshore Quaternary 250k UK
This Offshore Quaternary dataset shows the distribution of interpreted lithostratigraphic units within the shallow subsurface. Large areas of the UK offshore are covered, at a scale of 1:250 000. This dataset was originally published between 1984 and 1992, as a series of paper map sheets. This is the first time that the Quaternary Geology 1:250 000 maps have been made available in digital format.
