Online_Linkage: Description: Abstract: Abstract This 1:50,000 scale bedrock geology map and associated geoscientific data forms part of a series of maps that are the result of three seasons of field mapping (2000-02), subsequent analytical research (i.e., geochronology, whole-rock geochemistry and isotopic studies), the compilation of previous bedrock mapping studies and the analysis of geophysical surveys. This work was conducted by the Geological Survey of Canada with funding from the Targeted Geoscience Initiative. Together these maps present a coherent geological interpretation and stratigraphy across a broad belt of central Newfoundland from west of Grand Falls-Windsor to south-east of Victoria Lake and thus, amongst other things, defines the extent and internal structure of the economically important Victoria Lake Supergroup, the geology of the Annieopsquotch Accretionary Tract and the position of the Red Indian Line that is fundamental suture zone of Iapetus. In addition to the maps data tables are on the surround detailing available crystallization ages obtained by U/Pb - zircon geochronology and known economic mineral occurrences. Purpose: Supplemental_Information: Data set is in English. Magnetic declination stated in degrees and minutes. Annual change stated in minutes. Magnetic declination at NW corner of map: 21°33'W, changing 12.8'E annually. Magnetic declination at SW corner of map: 21°27'W, changing 12.7'E annually. Magnetic declination at NE corner of map: 21°31'W, changing 12.9'E annually. Magnetic declination at SE corner of map: 21°25'W, changing 12.8'E annually. Magnetic declination at center of map: 21°29'W, changing 12.8'E annually.
