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

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

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 genrated as part of NJ Geological
Survey fractured-bedrock aquifer research. For more information regarding these data and methods
