Survey Description


In 2006, basal till samples were collected from 52 sites in central New Brunswick, north of Fredericton.  One sample was collected every 10 km2.  The data, including previously collected and analysed samples from the same and adjacent areas, are published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources Open File 2007-8.

Sampling Procedure

Samples were collected from hand-dug pits.  C-horizon material (5 kg), B-horizon soil (1 kg) and 10-100 pebbles (coarse gravel to cobble-size) were collected.
