Survey Description


Between 1999 and 2004, a total of 1129 basal till samples were collected in the Kedgwick (21O/11), Gounamitz River (21O/12), States Brook (21O/13) and Menneval (21O/14) map areas, northwestern New Brunswick.  The regional samples were collected on roughly a 2 km spacing.

Sample locations are found on the following map plates:

 

NTS NB DNR Map Plate
21O/11 Kedgwick 2005-3A
21O/12 Gounamitz River 2003-5 (revised 2005)
21O/13 States Brook 2005-3B
21O/14 Menneval 2005-3C

 

The data are published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources Open File 2005-4.

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

At each site, a 5 kg sample of basal till and approximately 75 pebbles (>1 and <10 cm) from till were collected from hand dug pits 0.5 to 1 m deep.
