Thirty eight deposits of Holocene peat sampled in the Vermont-New Hampshire area of the Glen Falls 1:250,000 sheet illustrate the ability of some deposits to accumulate anomalous amounts of certain elements, including Ni, Co, Cu, V, Sr, La, Nd, Eu, Th, and U. The amount of each element in a given deposit depends on the presence of available sources in the underlying bedrock, and the efficiency of groundwater transport from sources to peat-forming marsh or swamp. The presence of fracture zones
