CREDIT
It is requested that the Indiana Geological Survey be cited in any products generated from this data set. The following source citation should be included: INDUSTRIAL_MINERALS_POINTS_IN: Industrial Mineral Data in Indiana (Indiana Geological Survey, Point Shapefile).
The Word documents described above contain locational information that was copied into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
The Excel spreadsheet was converted to a TXT document, and Geographix software was used to determine UTM coordinates for each record in the TXT document.
Paper records were consulted and corrected locational information was entered wherever possible for records which were not assigned UTM coordinates by Geographix software.
The TXT document with corrected UTM coordinates was then re-processed using Geographix software.
Fields were then added to the TXT document to indicate the sources of the data. The paper records of industrial minerals data are contained within folders with labels such as "Quarry," "Core," or "Other." Some folders have two or more designations, while other folders are unmarked. The fields were named "Quarry," "Core," "Other," and "Unmarked," and for each record, the value "X" was added in the field (or fields) from which the associated paper record was obtained.
The TXT document was converted into a point shapefile using ESRI ArcView 3.3. The shapefile was named INDUSTRIAL_MINERALS_POINTS_IN.
