A unique stratigraphic record of late Tertiary–Quaternary events in southeastern Yukon

A succession of fluvial sediments with minor coal, basaltic lava, five tills, and fossiliferous intertill sediments exposed along the Liard River where it crosses the Liard Plain provides a remarkably continuous record of geologic–climatic events in this region. The coal bearing sediments and lava w...
