Newfoundland and Labrador Traveller's Guide to the Geology

Edited by: S. Colman-Sadd and S.A. Scott, 91 pp. + map, 1994

In order to make each section easily accessible, the guide is here broken into a number of sections. 		Labrador Coast
The basic tools of a geologist or a rock hound are a geological hammer and a 10X hand lens. However, all of the stops offer plenty to interest the traveller or student who is not equipped with these, and any type of magnifying glass will help to reveal the fascination of a crystal or a freshly broken rock surface.

On the Labrador coastal boat, binoculars would be useful for viewing some features from the ship, although all of these "stops" are easily seen with the naked eye.
