Survey Description


In 1985, 346 representative samples of primarily peralkaline granite were collected in northeastern Labrador from the Flowers River Igneous Suite.  Fist-sized samples that were as unweathered as possible were collected with a 5-lb sledgehammer.

The data are published in Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Open File 013N/0139.
