About OpenOutcrops
OpenOutcrops is a global outcrop map that is currently in closed alpha development. The browser-based map allows contributors to draw polygons on the map that represent outcrops in the world. Contributors can then add photos, associate lithogical units, and add rock descriptions.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Christian.

Lithological Units
If you have confidently identified one or more lithological units, then you may associate the unit(s) with your outcrop. Please note that the bedrock tile layer featured on the Open Outcrops map does not accurately define the location of lithological units. You should consult published maps and papers to determine the units with confidence. If you remain uncertain, then feel free to leave this outcrop unassociated.
