Data Description
  Abstract: This digital data set consists of a single color TIFF file, where high resolution aeromagnetic surveys exist over the Yarmouth - Cape St. Marys area in the western Meguma Terrane. The TIFF represents the second vertical derivative of the vertical gradient magnetic data combined with digital elevation data. The original data was collected by aeromagnetic surveys flown by the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC). The data has been gridded to a 10 m cell size. These images were derived from some of the same aeromagnetic surveys as used to create the DP ME 8 and 372 products. This work was done by M. S. King under contract to the Mineral Resources Branch (MRB).
  Purpose: These images are designed to highlight structure and stratigraphy within the Meguma Group.
