Bundle Description

Geochemical results of till samples collected in the Tetagouche Lakes region (NTS 21O/9), New Brunswick.

The silt and clay fractions (<63 microns) were analysed for 28 trace elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA).  Mercury was analysed by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (Hg-CVAAS).  The analyses were carried out by X-Ray Assay Laboratories (XRAL) in Toronto, Ontario.

The analytical data were obtained from Mike Parkhill in 2005 (in an MS Excel spreadsheet).
