Survey Description


Approximately 50 till samples were collected in 1986 in the Osik Lake area, central Manitoba.  Sampling was carried out in the presumed up-ice direction northeast of sites along highway 391 where ultramafic pebbles and cobbles were found exposed in road cuts along a 10 km stretch of the highway.  A summary of the work can be found in Geological Survey of Canada Current Research, Paper 88-1C.

The data are part of a compilation, Geological Survey of Canada Open File 7064.

Data Description:
