Investigation of Till Anomalies, 2010
Project Description
A number of unexplained anomalies are present within the till database of the Geoscience Atlas of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. This project seeks to investigate the bedrock source of four of these anomalies by further examination of existing data and the re-sampling of selected anomalous sites.
In 2010, bulk till samples were collected within the bounds of these four anomalies and the samples were collected as close as possible to the sites of the original samples:
| Area | Anomaly | Number of Bulk Till Samples | Number of Background Samples |
| South of Red Indian Lake |
Henry Waters REE Michael’s Pond Mo |
13 28 |
8 |
| Bay de Verde Peninsula |
Carbonear REE Heart’s Content REE |
11 12 |
5 |
The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File NFLD/3171.
