Policy
Sites and features have both been used in Australia to describe respectively areas of small or large extent, or aspects of geology and geomorphology such as a fossil locality, a type section, a landform or other geological features that may have no particular extent. The term geological monument has been used for sites and features that have been recognised as significant. The Society now uses the following definition:
Significant geological features (SGF) are those features of special scientific or educational value which form the essential basis of geological education, research and reference. These features are considered by the geological community to be worthy of protection and preservation.
The GSA's Heritage Policy details these principles further.
