Data Description
  Abstract: This digital data set consists of 26 color TIFF files, one for each 1:50 000 NTS mapsheet where high resolution aeromagnetic surveys exist over the Meguma Terrane. Each TIFF represents the second vertical derivative of the vertical gradient magnetic data, with most of the original data being collected by aeromagnetic surveys flown by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), while a couple of surveys were flown by SeaBright Resources.
  Purpose: To assist in identifying structure and stratigraphy in the Meguma Terrane.
  Supplemental Information: Data Set ID = m008mgam; Data Class = magnetic; old data det ID = hiresmag; old Data Class = images

  Technical Prerequisite: In order to view our digital files on your computer, you require mapping software (e. g. ArcView(R), MapInfo(R), AutoCAD(R)). If you do not have this software, ESRI* provides a FREE Map Viewer called ArcExplorer(R) which you can download over the Internet. ArcExplorer(R) works with our "E00" and "TIFF" files. You need to download both ArcExplorer(R) and the ArcExplorer(R) Import Utility (Import71.exe). The import utility is required to convert the ArcInfo "E00" files into ArcInfo coverages, which then can be viewed in ArcExplorer(R).
  Ordering Fee: Free($10.00 for CD-ROM)
  Instructions: The data set can be downloaded over the Internet.
