Analytical Sample Bundle Metadata

Waterford and Salmon River, NB till samples (Munn, NBDNRE), <63 micron size fraction – INAA

Type: lab data



Bundle Description

Geochemical results of till samples collected in the Waterford (21H/11; single till sample) and Salmon River (21H/6) regions, southeastern New Brunswick.

The <63 micron fraction of till was analysed for 35 trace elements using instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA).  The analyses were carried out by Activation (Actlabs) Labs Ltd., Ancaster, Ontario.

The analytical data were obtained from Serge Allard in 2005 (in an Excel spreadsheet compilation of Fundy Model Forest data).  The single sample is missing from Munn’s MSc thesis and also from the ActLabs report provided by Toon Pronk in September 2006.
