Survey Description
225 till samples were collected in the course of surficial mapping on Devon Island in 1993-1994. Most till samples were collected from hand-dug pits, at a depth of 20-30 cm in the centres of patterned ground cells (i.e. sorted and non-sorted circles, nets, stripes etc.). Only those areas accessible to ground traversing were sampled. The interior of the study area was not well sampled. The data are published in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 3907.
Data Description:

Quantities Analysed:
<0.002 mm fraction for 34 elements by ICP-AES after an aqua regia digestion.
