    This document provides an explanation of the colors and symbols used to characterize different lithologic units on a geologic map. It includes a key that assigns specific colors and symbols to represent different rock types, textures, compositions, and other features. For example, sandstone is represented by a light gray color and horizontal lines symbol, while black shale is a solid black color. The key can be used to interpret the composition of lithologic units on a map using multiple color/symbol combinations if needed.

    Lithologic units may be represented by more than one color/symbol combination. For example, a unit consisting of equal parts sandstone, gray shale, and limestone would show equal portions of the color/symbol combinations for these three lithologic units (see example below).
