The Locality description is a text field that allows the geologist to describe general features of an outcrop and nature of the site and its surroundings. For example, the Locality description could report the size, shape, or character of the outcrop, distance from the road or relationship to other outcrops

-
- Unrepresentable_Domain: see associated attribute table
- Attribute:
-
- Attribute_Label: data_src
- Attribute_Definition:
-
Formal citation of the data source. In most cases, the source of the data will be original field work by the geologist submitting the file.
Example 1: Henry N. Berry IV, Maine Geological Survey, 2007-2008, original data.
In some cases, however, data may have been compiled from existing sources such as published maps, unpublished thesis maps, well logs, etc. This is allowable as long as the data source is properly acknowledged.
Example 2: Arthur M. Hussey II, 1971, Geologic Map of the Portland Quadrangle, Maine. Maine Geological Survey map GM-1, 1:62,500.
Listing the source of data separately from the “person submitting this file”, allows someone to submit data collected by someone else, but the person submitting the file is responsible for any errors that may occur. Citing the original source allows questions to be investigated and errors to be corrected. Each data file must contain data from only one source. If data are being submitted from more than one source, they must be submitted in separate data files.

- Attribute:
-
- Attribute_Label: submit_by
- Attribute_Definition:
-
Name of the person who actually delivered the file to MGS. (This might not be the person who collected the data, or the person who created the file.) This is the one person responsible for the data file.

-
- Unrepresentable_Domain: from associated open-file map
- Attribute:
-
- Attribute_Label: submit_dat
- Attribute_Definition:
-
Date when the file was actually delivered to MGS. (This is not the date when the data were collected, and probably not the date the data file was created.)

This field describes how the data were collected. If they are original data, then they were collected by field work. If they are pre-existing data, then they may have been transcribed from existing maps or copied from data tables or log sheets. This may be a lengthy comment, if it was a complex procedure.
Example 1: Field work.
Example 2: Data recovered by digitizing symbols from existing paper map.
Example 3: Data transcribed from Table 12, p. 134-138 of thesis.
