Compilation of rotary sonic drill cores with magnetic susceptibility measurements collected by Minnesota Geological Survey Quaternary geologists. The full dataset is available upon request and includes 1) magnetic susceptibility profiles for each rotary sonic core, 2) named unit averages and standard deviations for each county, and 3) named unit averages and standard deviations for all data.

Minnesota Geological Survey, in cooperation with industry, sampled the State of Minnesota and adjacent regions for till geochemistry and indicator minerals at a 30-km spacing during summer 2004. Within target cells, each a quarter-degree latitude by a half-degree longitude, till from between about 1 and 2 m depth was sampled by filling a 15 liter plastic pail. At a few sites, vertical profiles were collected. In addition, three transects to the north were sampled, to help identify sediments derived by long-distance glacial transport, to obtain reference samples from the Thompson nickel belt, and also to extend sampling to the limit of Hudson Bay-derived carbonate-bearing sediments, to permit comparison to Minnesota...

All sediment samples from auger holes, outcrops, and cores are processed to determine texture. The 1-2 mm coarse sand fraction is packaged separately, and about half of these fractions are categorized lithologically by a glacial geologist. The data are recorded on paper data sheets and in a database.

Static metadata (current to June 2023) of Minnesota's borehole drill cuttings collection maintained by the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS). This collection of over 6,400 sets of drill cuttings dates as far back as the late 1800s. The collection is stored in our soil lab at our office and is accessible to the public by appointment. Each borehole cutting set is assigned a MGS lab number upon arrival, processed and washed by UMN student soil lab workers, and stored chronologically in cardboard boxes. Each cutting set cardboard box contains multiple paper envelopes representing a sample taken at that depth. Each paper envelope contains ~100-200 grams of original sample and ~100 grams of washed sample processed by...

Raster grids depicting the current knowledge for elevation for the bedrock surface, pre-Mesozoic surface, the Precambrian surface and the basement surface based on the addition of new data from completed mapping. Basement is the top of structurally complex Precambrian rocks where the Phanerozoic and Proterozoic basins are removed based on geophysical modeling and drill hole interpretation. Statewide elevation datasets are stored as contoured line files and attributed with publication source, contour elevation and date and time of last edit. New raster grids are generated with the 'Topo to Raster' tool in ESRI ArcMap 10.7. 6/2023 Update: The 2023 version of rasters are currently not available online to download but...

A compilation of drill core logs and thin section notes, including well abandonment reports, drill hole location maps, and associated notes, from Minnesota Geological Survey Precambrian geologists. These logs and notes were scanned using NGGDPP FY22 support and will support future investigations of Precambrian geology by MGS Precambrian geologists, other statewide stakeholders, industry, and universities.
