The origin of stratified Catfish Creek Till by basal melting
Sedimentological investigations into the lateral and vertical variation of Late Wisconsinan stratified Catfish Creek Till exposed on the north shore of Lake Erie, in southwestern Ontario, are presented. Depositional features and stratigraphical relations of the till combined with the results of gran...
