	CoinResource - Liberty Head Nickels (V Nickel) 1883-1913 Coin Guide
		The Shield nickel, introduced in 1866, was the first base-metal five-cent piece in U.S. history; up to then, the half dime-a small silver coin-had filled the nation's need for that denomination.
		All were struck in copper-nickel, the same alloy being used already in the three-cent piece and the Shield nickel.
		Due to their low relief, Liberty Head nickels are generally available well struck; the lower-left portion of the wreath may be a bit soft, due to its being directly opposite the highest relief of Liberty's bust.

		A shiny, puckered "rock" sitting on the plains of Meridiani is a nickel-iron meteorite, says Steve Squyres, Mars rover project scientist.
		(Project scientists promptly dubbed it "Heat Shield rock.") Opportunity is examining the heat-shield impact site to collect information to help flight engineers improve designs.

	Canadian Shield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Canadian Shield is a large craton in eastern and central Canada and adjacent portions of the United States, composed of bare rock dating to the Precambrian Era (between 4.5 billion and 540 million years ago).
		The North American craton is the bedrock forming the heart of the North American continent and the Canadian Shield is the largest exposed part of the craton's bedrock.
		The Shield is one of the world's richest areas in terms of mineral ores.

	Geography of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Across the Canadian Shield and in the north there are large iron, nickel, zinc, copper, gold, lead, molybdenum, and uranium reserves.
		The Shield cannot support intensive agriculture, although there is subsistence agriculture and small dairy farms in many of the river valleys and around the abundant lakes, particularly in the southern regions.
		While the largest part of the arctic is composed of seemingly non-stop permanent ice and tundra north of the tree line, it encompasses geological regions of varying types: the Inuitian Mountains (combining the British Empire Range and the United States Range) on Ellesmere Island are the northernmost mountains in the world.

	Canadian Shield
		The shield is a rich source of metallic minerals such as iron, nickel, copper, zinc, uranium, gold, silver, platinum and molybdenum.
		The shield is composed of granite and the earth's greatest area of exposed Precambrian rock (igneous and metamorphic rock formed in the Precambrian geological era 500 million years ago).
		There are a number of mountain ranges within the shield: the Adirondack (northeastern New York state), Superior Highlands (northern Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan states), Torngat and Laurentian.

	Department of Earth Sciences, Laurentian University
		The Department of Earth Sciences at Laurentian University is located in the centre of Ontario's mining region, next to one of the world's largest nickel copper ore deposits, and surrounded by some of the most interesting and varied geological terrains in Canada.
		It is one of the very few campuses in North America to be built on the Precambrian Shield, and straddles three ancient geological provinces, the Grenville, Southern and Superior.
		Laurentian University celebrated the announcement that it will receive $2,528,600 from the provincial government's Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) to relocate its Department of Earth Sciences and Central Analytical Facility into the Willet Green Miller Centre (WGMC), also located on the University campus.

	The Canadian Shield
		The Shield owes its present-day appearance to both a very long period of erosion, which has worn down contours that were once spectacular, and much more recent events, which occurred during the last glaciation.
		The Canadian Shield, which forms the stable core of the North American continent, is composed of the most ancient rocks on the planet.
		Everywhere else, the Shield has the appearance of a vast plateau, with heights generally varying between 300 and 500 metres.

	Report of Investigation 132
		The main tectonostratigraphic division of the eastern parts of Fennoscandian Shield into an Archean (Kola-Karelian) domain in the northeast and a Proterozoic (Svecofennian) domain to the southwest is also fundamental with respect to nickel metallogenic provinces in Finland.
		Total geological in situ resources of Finnish nickel deposits have been estimated to be some 950 Mt with an average grade of 0.39% Ni and 0.29% Cu, which could be equivalent to a metal content of some 2.6 Mt nickel and 2.5 Mt copper.
		Between 1941-1994, the ore output of all nickel mines in Finland was about 42.3 Mt, at an average grade of 0.61% Ni and 0.25% Cu, which is calculated to be equivalent of some 260 300 t of nickel and 103 800 t of copper.

		Due to their low relief, Liberty Head nickels are generally available well struck; the lower-left portion of the wreath may be a bit soft, due to its being directly opposite the highest relief of Liberty's bust.
		No Liberty nickels were made of that date officially, but some years later collectors were stunned to learn that five 1913 examples had surfaced-all of them apparently made on the sly by someone at the Philadelphia Mint.

	Baltic Shield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The scouring and compression of the Baltic Shield by glacial movements created the area's many lakes and streams, the land retaining only a thin layer of sandy sediment collected in depressions: Vast forests of pine dominate, clearly demarcating its boundaries.
		Because of its similarity to the Canadian Shield and cratons of southern Africa and Western Australia, the Baltic Shield had long been a suspected source of diamonds and gold.
		Currently, especially the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt in the north is considered to be an unexplored area that has the potential to hold exploitable gold deposits.

	Discovery Channel :: News :: Mars Rover Finds Metal Meteorite
		The meteorite, which is made of nickel-iron, is about 10 inches ( 25 centimeters) in diameter and was found about 33 feet (10 meters) from the discarded remains of the rover's heat shield.
		After completing a heat shield survey, Opportunity was directed North to look at what the team was calling "Heat Shield Rock" — a pitted mass about the size of a basketball.
		20, 2005 — Fresh from an inspection of its discarded heat shield, the Mars rover Opportunity scrutinized an odd-looking nearby rock and discovered a meteorite, a finding that is reshaping its science agenda at Meridiani Planum, the lead scientist for the rover mission said Wednesday.

	CBC News: NASA rover finds meteorite on Mars, offering geological clues
		The meteorite was dubbed the "Heat Shield Rock" because it lies a few metres from where Opportunity's heat shield came to rest when the rover landed on Jan. 24, 2004.
		When Opportunity analyzed the chunk, it found iron and nickel, confirming that the basketball-sized rock wasn't Martian but fell from space.
		The answer to that question could help scientists determine whether the plain is gradually being built up or eroding away.

	Heat Shield Rock
		That explains why this meteorite was found coincidentally close to the heat shield.
		Perhaps Heat Shield Rock originally created a crater and over time became buried under sediments and sedimentary rocks.
		Non native rocks would last longer, and iron-nickel meteors would last a long time.

		The pitted, basketball-size meteorite is mostly made of iron and nickel, as detected by the rover’s set of onboard spectrometers-- devices that map the presence of different elements on the surface of Mars.
