Bundle Description

Geochemical results of glacial deposits (till and surficial material) from the northeastern region of Alberta are presented. This area of Alberta corresponds to NTS map sheet 74M and part of 74L.

The till matrix samples were analysed for 35 trace elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). The analysis was performed by Actlabs Ltd., Ancaster, Ontario.

The data were published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 3348.
