The database is presented in the following format:

Contains CTBedrockRodgers1985.gdb, an ESRI ArcGIS v. 10.6 file geodatabase laid out in accordance with 
the GeMS (Geological Mapping Schema) database schema. A description of this schema is available at 
https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Info/standards/GeMS/. FGDC-style metadata for each element of the geodatabase (table, feature dataset, feature 
class) are stored within the geodatabase. The zip file also includes geodatabase-level metadata (CTBedrockRodgers1985-metadata.xml), two
esri .mxd files (CTBedrockRodgers1985-sheet1.mxd and CTBedrockRodgers1985-sheet2.mxd) that describe map images similar to
CTBedrockRodgers1985-sheet1.pdf and CTBedrockRodgers1985-sheet2.pdf; a folder (CTBedrockRodgers1985-basedata) that contains layer files
and feature classes for topographic contours, hydrography, towns borders, county borders, roads, airports, geographic place names, and
geographic names, clipped to the extent of mapping and used as the map base; and a "resources" folder that contains related fonts, 
ESRI .style files useful for recreating symbology.

Note that to obtain proper symbolization of some features using the included .mxd file it may be necessary to install the fonts in 
the resources folder.
