Survey Description
In 2005, till samples were collected in the northern Burin Peninsula area, southern Newfoundland. Most samples were from the C- or BC- soil horizon and were collected in pits 0.5 m deep or at depths of 0.5-1 m deep in quarries or road cuts. Sample density was 1 sample per 1 km2 in areas of good access and 1 sample per 4 km2 where helicopter support was required. In total, 912 samples (including field duplicates) were collected.
The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File 001M/0573.
Samples from this survey were reanalyzed for fluoride and the data are published in a compilation (Open File NFLD/3344) with samples collected from across the province between 1985 and 2017.
