Survey Description
In 1990, sediment samples were collected from 99 sites in the Gander map sheet as part of Quaternary mapping in the area.
Most samples were BC- or C-soil horizon samples from tills, although in rare cases the lack of surface sediment necessitated the sampling of bedrock detritus. Marine and fluvial/glaciofluvial sediment was avoided.
The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Mines and Energy Open File 2D/15/0398.
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.
