Postulated Fault in the Gray Limestone Aquifer, Collier County, Florida

A USGS Water-Resources Investigations Report (WRIR 99-4213) presents data suggesting a northwest-southeast trending fault in eastern Collier County, Florida. The postulated fault may have a displacement of up to 60 feet at the base of the gray limestone aquifer. This dataset from the CEOS_EXTRA organization via NASA EarthData supports the evaluation of the hydrogeologic and geologic framework of southern Florida.

Use Cases

• Modeling subsurface fault geometry based on well-control data mentioned in the description.
• Assessing potential impacts of deep-seated faults on aquifer deposition and structure.
• Evaluating the hydrogeologic framework of the gray limestone aquifer as described in the report.

Strengths

• Based on a specific USGS scientific report (WRIR 99-4213).
• Includes a quantified potential fault displacement of up to 60 feet.

Limitations

• Row count, column definitions, and file formats are unknown.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
