Here is the work done so far for getting (not only) FGDC geologic symbols in QGIS:

> **[GitHub - afrigeri/geologic-symbols-qgis: Geologic symbols library and...](https://github.com/afrigeri/geologic-symbols-qgis)**
>
> Geologic symbols library and development for QGIS. Contribute to afrigeri/geologic-symbols-qgis development by creating an account on GitHub.

instructions on how to add the first set of symbols in QGIS 3.x is included.

</div>

Submission of symbols to [https://github.com/afrigeri/geologic-symbols-qgis](https://github.com/afrigeri/geologic-symbols-qgis) withour fork/PR easier via issues, e.g. [https://github.com/afrigeri/geologic-symbols-qgis/issues/4](https://github.com/afrigeri/geologic-symbols-qgis/issues/4).

See: [https://github.com/afrigeri/geologic-symbols-qgis/blob/master/STATUS.md](https://github.com/afrigeri/geologic-symbols-qgis/blob/master/STATUS.md)

Also, for volunteering/tasking please open an issue titled with the FGDC symbol of choice (the one(s) you are working on to complete the planetary set)

We could list the missing planetary FGDC, assign (one or more) and create issues accordingly. I.e. see below. Happy volunteering…

just edit the reply below, volunteer modifiying it, create then an issue as documented by Ale and that’s it.

Any reason for having this looooong list here?

In fact it can go into an issue, too… or wiki but that’s apparently only edited by contributors. So issue ?

The project just upgraded to 88 FGDC symbols for planetary mapping - we’re at 3/4 of the total symbols! Thanks to the USGS guys!

This is really great news! I’ll have to give it a go in QGIS!
