 Geology and Mineral Resources
Bedrock is the continuous, solid part of the earth's crust that overlies the mantle (a 2800 km thick dense layer surrounding the earth's core).
Bedrock underlies surficial materials such as sand, gravel, glacial deposits, and soil, and in combination with these earth materials forms the foundation for plant and animal life.
A bedrock map generally includes rock descriptions, age relationships (stratigraphic sequence), major and minor structural data, and other information which is collected in the field, analyzed in the laboratory, and used to portray a three dimensional picture of the rock on a two dimensional topographic base map.

 USGS OFR 03-471: Bedrock Geology and Bedrock Topography GIS of Ohio
Bedrock contacts were drawn on the base maps where the structure contour surface intersected equivalent elevations on the bedrock topography or the surface topography maps, producing new bedrock geology maps (figure 3).
Compilation of the statewide bedrock topography layer presented unique problems because of the different vintages of the original maps and the variety of contour intervals (5, 10, 20, 25, 50, and 100 feet) that had to be used across the state depending on the gradient of relief on the bedrock surface.
To produce a bedrock topography surface across the entire state, the shaded surface-elevation grid of the state (Powers, Laine, and Pavey, 2002) was clipped to the edge of the bedrock topography grid.

 Bedrock Summary
Bedrock is only rarely exposed, or crops out, where sediment accumulates rapidly, for example, in the bottom of stream valleys and at the base of hills or mountains.
Above the bedrock is usually an area of broken and weathered unconsolidated rock in the basal subsoil.
The term bedrock may be somewhat misleading, since in many locations, the bedrock may change over a short distance, or the technical bedrock may be a thin stratum overlying quite different rock.

 Reading Detailed Bedrock Geology Maps - Maine Geological Survey
Groundwater flow in bedrock, relevant to water supply and contaminant transport issues, is controlled in a complicated way by the rock structure, including lithologic layering, metamorphic foliation, folds, dikes, and fractures, any of which may be indicated by symbols on the map.
On some bedrock maps, the geologist provides cross sections (Figure 3) which show the distribution of geologic units in a vertical slice of the crust based on their interpretation of the 3-dimensional structure.
The distribution of rock types and rocks of different ages shown on a bedrock map together with the interpretation of the 3-dimensional structure of the bedrock are the key elements in deducing the geologic history of a region.

 WDNR - Description of Study Area - Niagara Escarpment Report
Nearby outliers of exposed bedrock were excluded from the study area because of their small size and, in most cases, their non-dolomitic composition, which indicates that they are not part of the Escarpment.
The Niagara Escarpment is the steep face of a 650-mile sickle-shaped cuesta (bedrock ridge) that runs from the northeastern United States south of Rochester, New York, across portions of southeastern Canada, and then southward north and west of Lake Michigan to southeastern Wisconsin (Map 3).
The primary bedrock type is dolomite, formed from accumulated sediments of an ancient sea 405-425 million years ago during the Silurian Period of the Paleozoic Era (Paull and Paull, 1977).

 Bedrock: outcrop, subcrop, and float   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
In some cases the bedrock is actually exposed, and is said to outcrop at the surface.
Outcropping bedrock is great stuff, because it allows geologist to determine the local geology, and helps them put together the geologic history of the earth.
Unfortunately, in many places the bedrock is covered by water, dirt, plants, pavement, buildings, or other coverings which obscure the area's bedrock.
