<abstract>North America Sedimanetary Basins</abstract>
<purpose>This geographic dataset contains general outlines of the sedimentary basins of North America, stored as polygon features. The polygons were compiled from many sources, listed below. This dataset is illustrative and meant to be displayed at small scales (ie, North America).  The appropriate viewing scale of the dataset is 1:10,000,000</purpose>
