| Abstract | The Pontypool borehole was drilled by Golder and Associates for the municipality of Kawartha Lakes. The Ontario Ministry of Environment provided funding for the initial drilling and geophysics. The
borehole was terminated in bedrock at ~171 m depth and core was collected in 114 runs. The GSC completed bed-by-bed sediment logging of the core, grain size and total organic carbon analysis (TOC), and downhole geophysical logging. The core
description consists of 405 individual units ranging from 0.01 to 1.2 m thickness with an average thickness of 0.35 m. The core description is presented in three formats, a typed entry of the logging sheet in MSExcel, a synthesized MSExcel
spreadsheet for entry to the database, and the MSAccess database. The core is also documented by 739 photos that have also been combined in 113 photo mosaics. Grain size analysis was completed on 192 samples and TOC analysis on 241 samples.
Downhole geophysical logs on this CD include: conductivity, natural gamma, magnetic susceptibility, temperature, and p-wave. Data files are presented in the following, text, MSExcel, MSAccess, Adobe Acrobat, and jpg file formats. The GSC data forms
the main content of this CD-ROM. The data has been summarized on the poster "Pontypool 'Golden Spike' Borehole Data Compilation" published as GSC Open File 1746. This Open File is also on this CD as an Adobe Acrobat pdf file.
This Core is
located within the Pontypool wedge of the Oak Ridges Moraine. It intercepts Oak Ridges Moraine to a depth of ~96 m and is predominantly silt and sand. Below this depth is 74 m of Lower sediment that is predominantly diamicton and silt - clay.
Bedrock was intercepted at ~169 m depth. The Oak Ridges Moraine sediment has infilled and buried a tunnel channel. |
