Survey Description
More than 200 samples (mostly till but also glaciofluvial sand and gravels and glaciolacustrine silty clay) collected in 1985 in the Muskoka area, Ontario. The data are published in GSC Open File 1792. This OF has been superseded by GSC Open File 3175 which is a digital compilation of data from OFs 1792, 947 and part of 2274. The data from OF 1792 have also been released as part of a big Ontario-Quebec summary and interpretation in GSC Bulletin 463.
Data Description:
Paper report; data files on diskette (OF 3175 only).
Quantities Analysed:
<0.002 mm fraction by AAS after HNO3-HCl leach for 12 elements, by fluorometric method for U and by colorimetric method for As (OFs 1792 and 3175).
Geochem Maps Available:
Proportional symbol maps showing dispersal of elements and carbonate (OF 3175).
Other Analyses:
Grain-size (<2 mm fraction); carbonate (<0.063 mm by LECO); pebble lithologies (OF 3175 only).
