Field Camp

IMAGES OF 1997 FIELD CAMP

A collection of 'JPG' images from the 1997 edition of Field Camp, run from May 1, 1997 to May 12, 1997.

Everyone up, on the dock, at 8:00 AM, and ready for departure on the first day. Near Massey, where the students had to work out their individual pace.

Lunch along the shores of the River Aux Sables, Chutes Provincial Park. Runoff this spring was quite high. The falls cascade over weakly metamorphosed McKim Formation. Radim and Todd identifying crossbeds in Serpent Sandstone, south of Espanola.

Jaime and Pete looking for crossbeds in Serpent Formation. Blair and Lee Ann measuring bedding orientation in the Serpent Formation.

Pronto Mine Site, Matinenda Formation, looking for trough crossbedding. Ross, Rachal, Kerry and Michelle looking for measuring trough crossbed orientation.

Everyone working on one of the exercises. Mississagi Formation, north of Elliot Lake. Compare this view with the view of the same outcrop from 1996 .

Espanola Formation, north of Elliot Lake. Note the small scale faults which offset the silty laminae. Interbedded conglomerate, sandstone and shale of the lower Gowganda Formation, north of Elliot Lake.

Wayne's Tree The falls at Whitefish Falls, Ontario. The white unit is Lorrain Formation, majority, a dyke of Nippising Diabase, dark colour in lower right, cuts the Lorrain.

Willisville Lookout. Looking to the east along the axis of the La Cloche Syncline. The hills are resistant weathering Lorrain Formation. Videographer Lee Ann.

It is not all work at Field Camp, every night they managed to get in a game or two of horseshoes. The main lodge at Charlton Lake Camp.

The beach area, fire pit and cabins at Charlton Lake Camp. Cabin 1 - The dining/work cabin.

View from the mapping area, back towards the Willisville Lookout. The water is Bay of Islands, on the North Channel of Lake Huron. Michelle and Kerry standing on the contact between the Serpent and Espanola Formations.

Todd and Radim confused(?) or just being secretive. Lee Ann and Blair trying to determine what they are standing on.

Rachal ready for any eventuality that may arise during a day of field work. Creighton Pluton, Highway 144 bypass, Sudbury. Looking interested or is it just too early in the day to look at anything.

Looking for orthopyroxene in the Norite Phase of the Sudbury Igneous Complex. Group at the lookout over High Falls on the Onaping River, check out Cousin It in the center.

Another lunch stop, another photo. This time on the Black Member of the Onaping Formation, A. Y. Jackson Lookout. The Discovery Site of the Sudbury Area. The students are pointing at a nickel found at the base of the sign.

The Big Nickel, no trip to Sudbury is complete without a stop here. Dora and Chuck, retiring owners of Charlton Lake Camp.

Getting equipped to go underground at INCO's Crean Hill MIne. Does this look like someone you would trust? Terry Little, Mine Geologist at Crean Hill, talking about safety underground.

The Aliens have landed.

The map is almost completed, colouring while driving Highway 400 is not easy! The lads joined the Polar Bear Club. At 11:30 PM they decided to jump in the river, which was still cold 10°C.
