Comments | Printed map does not contain a unit named 'ao'; only a unit named 'a' and mentions that 'overprint signifies dark mineral content in excess of 10 percent (mainly gabbroic or noritic metanorthosite)'. Overprint means that a different pattern is used over the color of unit 'a'. The digital version of the map has separated this unit out into a new unit and called it 'ao', so I have included it here. |
