Summary

This open file data release consists of whole-rock geochemical data from 35 rock samples collected from various parts of the Avalon Terrane, eastern Newfoundland (NTS map areas 1M/3, 10, 1N/5, 6, 10, 11 and 12). The bedrock geology of the core of the Avalon Peninsula was compiled by McCartney (1967) and the entire Avalon Peninsula (and northwest to include Random Island) was compiled by King (1988). The bedrock geology of the Terrenceville map (1M/10) was completed by O’Brien et al. (1984), and the Marystown map was completed by Strong et al. (1977). All samples included in this report were collected by A.J. Mills (2022; four samples in 2021). This open file data release provides no interpretation.
