TGI-2: Geological Mapping and Resources Evaluation in Central Nova Scotia, 2003-2005
DP ME 185, Version 2, 2006. Digital Geological Data Generated as Part of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative Project (Phase 2), Geological Mapping and Resource Evaluation in Central Nova Scotia, 2003-2005, NTS 11E/06 and 11E/07 and Parts of 11E/05, 11E/10, 11E/11 and 11E/12
Abstract
This digital product is a compilation of geological data which was collected as part of the Targeted Geoscience Initiative Project (Phase 2) from 2003-2005. The data was used to create Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R) Open File Maps OFM ME 2005-118 and OFM ME 2005-119, compiled by R. D. Naylor, P. S. Giles and D. C. Brisco, 2005. The original digital data was compiled in Fieldlog databases during the project and was later converted by MRB staff into ArcView format. The digital product contains layers for geological features such as: anticlines/synclines, drillholes, faults, bedrock geologic units, geological contacts, mineral occurrences, neatline, outcrops, reference outlines, aggregate samples, spore samples and structural data.
