Geosite description guided procedure

GEOLOGIC UNIT

Conceptually, may represent a body of material in the Earth whose complete and precise extent is inferred to exist (NADM Geologic Unit, Stratigraphic unit in sense of NACSN or International Stratigraphic Code), or a classifier used to characterize parts of the Earth (e.g. lithologic map unit like 'granitic rock' or 'alluvial deposit', surficial units like 'till' or 'old alluvium') (GeoSciML).
