Survey Description
Approximately 300 till samples were collected on northern mainland Nova Scotia in about 1982-1984 at an average density of 1 sample per 13 km2. Samples were obtained from road cuts, sea cliffs and till pits at an average depth of 1.5 m below the modern solum. The data are published in Nova Scotia Department of Mines and Energy Open File Map 87-005 (Map 10-1987).
Data Description:
Paper map; map margin has data tables keyed to samples located on the map.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.002 mm fraction by AAS for at least 9 elements; by colourimetry for As and W and by fluorometry for U; heavy mineral concentrate (0.063-0.300 mm fraction) by AAS for Sn, Ba; by colourimetry for W.
Geochem Maps Available:
Sample sites with anomalous element levels are indicated on map.
Other Analyses:
Heavy mineral concentrate.
