Survey Description


In 1989, 267 B-horizon soil and 264 basal till samples were collected in the Nepisiguit Lakes area, north central New Brunswick.  Samples were collected on a 2 x 2 km grid from hand dug pits (0.5 – 1 m in depth), trenches or from roadside exposures.  At each site, 1 kg of B-horizon soil, 5 kg of basal till and approximately 90 pebbles from till were collected.  The data are published in New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources and Energy Geoscience Report 94-3.

Data Description:

Paper or digital report; Dbase file.

Quantities Analysed:

B horizon - <0.177 mm fraction by AAS for 8 elements. Till - <0.063 mm fraction by INAA for 34 elements; by AAS after HNO3-HCl and other digestions for 14 elements, and by CV-AAS for Hg.

Geochem Maps Available:

Proportional symbol maps show dispersal of 15 elements.

Other Analyses:

Pebble counts.
