Survey Description
In 2011, till samples were collected in the Carmanville, Wesleyville and Musgrave Harbour map sheets, northeastern Newfoundland.
Samples were collected from C- and BC- horizons from hand dug pits (~40-60 cm depth), road cuts (~50-100 cm depth) and mud boils (~30 cm depth). The sampling density was 1 sample per km 2 in areas of good access and 1 sample per 4 km 2 where helicopter support was required.
The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File NFLD/3174 and includes data for samples collected in 2009 and 2010 in an adjacent area.
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.
