INTRODUCTION

(based on publications by M.J. Batterson and D.M. Taylor)

 

The favoured method of delineating ice flow is by mapping striations on bedrock (Batterson and Liverman, 2001). Striations are excellent indicators of ice flow as they are formed by the direct action of moving ice. Data from individual striations should be treated with caution, as ice-flow patterns can show considerable local variation where ice flow was deflected by local topography. Regional flow patterns can only be deduced after examining numerous striated sites. The orientation of ice flow can easily be discerned from a striation by measuring its azimuth. Determination of the direction of flow can be made by observing the striation pattern over the outcrop. For example, areas in the lee of ice flow may not be striated. The presence of such features as 'nail-head' striations, miniature crag-and-tails (rat-tails), and the morphology of the bedrock surface may all show the effects of sculpturing by ice (Iverson, 1991). At many sites, the direction of ice flow is unclear and only the overall orientation of ice flow (e.g., north or south) can be deduced. Where striations representing separate flow events are found, the age relationships are based on crosscutting striation sets, and preservation of older striations in the lee of younger striations.

 

In 1989, the Terrain Sciences Section of the Department of Mines and Energy Geological Survey initiated a project to acquire and compile striation data for the island of Newfoundland. The striation database project is designed to complement the Surficial Geology of Insular Newfoundland Map (Liverman and Taylor, 1990), and the on-going 1: 50 000 scale Quaternary mapping of Newfoundland, as a basis for efficient mineral exploration in drift-covered areas of the province.

 

This database contains information (see Table 1) obtained from a variety of sources including published and unpublished reports, maps and field notes from provincial and federal geologists. New field work will continue in areas previously unmapped and in areas where confirmation of existing data is required. This database will be updated as new data is released. To help with analysis, the surficial geology (regional and detailed) can be turned on as well, through the Surficial Geology group of the Geoscience Atlas.

There may be numerous striations and associated structures mapped at a site. To reduce the number of symbols plotted at one site the 'Plot' field is used to prioritize which symbols are plotted. The Geoscience Atlas displays the more significant striations where Plot=1 or 2.  To view all data (including Plot=3) download the dataset (on the Atlas, go to Tools > Download) and plot all the data.
