Virtual Reality Model Language  (VRML) programs provide dynamic display of
three-dimensional shapes using VRML viewers and Internet browsers.

Below are a series of files portraying bedrock strata and fractures, some of which are water-bearing
features in bedrock aquifers. These images and VRML files were generated as part of NJ Geological
Survey fractured-bedrock aquifer research. For more information regarding these data and methods
contact gcherman56@yahoo.com.

Click on a link below for a zip file containing the VRML scenes.
Once the zip file contents is extracted to a directory, click on
scene1.wrl.

You must have a VRML viewer installed such as the Octaga player to view the WRL files in
3D .
