This dataset represents the faults present at or near the surface and comprises arcs with attributes describing the type of fault, its name, age and activity, and the sense of movement and cumulative slip. The dataset is part of the Geology of the Hyde-Macraes Shear Zone and Waihemo Fault Zone area, northeastern Otago collection produced by GNS Science. The mapping frame within which the features have been observed is typically defined as surface geology (i.e. the bedrock and superficial deposits that are exposed at the topographic surface or would be visible if the overlying soil was removed) but the mapping frame for some concealed features is bedrock (i.e. the solid rock that may either be exposed at the topographic surface or covered by other unconsolidated deposits). The data structure complies with the GeoSciML 4.1 standard for ShearDisplacementStructureView and uses the appropriate CGI Controlled Vocabularies. This dataset forms part of Martin AP, Smith Lyttle B, Allibone AH, Blakemore H, Cox SC, Craw D, Doyle S, Kellett RL, MacKenzie DJ, Mortimer N, Ritchie T, Sahoo TR, Stephens S, 2021.
