Survey Description
In 2007 till samples were collected on St. Mary’s Peninsula, southeastern Newfoundland. In total, 490 samples (including field duplicates) were collected.
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. Sampling density was 1 sample per 1 km2 in areas of good access and 1 sample per 4 km2 where helicopter support was required.
The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File NFLD/3026.
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.
