Abstract

This digital product is a compilation of geological data which was collected as part of Dan Kontak's mapping of the basaltic rocks of the North Mountain Formation . The data was used to create Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources (NSNR&R) Open File Maps OFM ME 2010-7, OFM ME 2010-8, OFM ME 2010-9, OFM ME 2010-10, OFM 2010-11, and OFM ME 2010-12, compiled by D. J. Kontak and T. L. Webster, 2010. The digital product was created by the NSNR&R, Mineral Resources Branch (MRB) staff. The original digital data was compiled using Dan Kontak's field work and high resolution LIDAR imagery (DP ME 455) provided by Tim Webster (AGRG). The digital product contains layers for geological features such as: age dates, drillholes, faults, bedrock geology, geological contacts, neatline, mineral occurrences, small outcrops, reference outlines, an index for mapsheets, and an overview index of the map series.
