This dataset contains a complete bilingual GIS spatial database from which a variety of thematic geological maps can be created. For example, this product includes information on eras (Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Precambrian), period (Quaternary, Tertiary, Jurassic), rock types (sedimentary rocks, volcanic rocks, metamorphic rocks), rock types subdivided (felsic volcanic rocks, carbonate, mafic gneiss, etc.). Some basic bathymetric data for the surrounding oceans are also available in this dataset.

The dataset is available as one large .zip file through the Geological Survey of Canada's GEOSCAN website.
