Survey Description
A total of 171 till and humus samples were collected in the Atholville-Charlo area of north central New Brunswick in 1998 and 1999. A few samples were also collected in northernmost part of Tetagouche Lakes (21O/9) and Upsalquitch Forks (21O/10).
The data are published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Open File 2002-9.
Data Description:
Paper copy; data lists on diskette.
Quantities Analysed:
<0.063 mm fraction of till and <0.177 mm fraction of humus by AAS after aqua regia for 12 elements and by INAA for 27 elements.
Geochem Maps Available:
Contoured maps show dispersal of selected clasts and elements.
Other Analyses:
Grain size (<2 mm); pebble lithologies (2-10 cm).
The data have also been published as part of a compilation for NTS 21O, 21N and 22B in NB DNRED Open File OF 2021-2.
Sampling Procedure
Samples were collected from hand-dug pits, road cuts and natural exposures. Sample pits were approximately 0.5 m in diameter and ranged in depth from 0.2 to 0.8 m. Approximately 3 to 5 kg of till matrix was collected.
