MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF LACUSTRINE SEDIMENTS FROM QUATERNARY DEPOSITS NEAR MANHATTAN, KANSAS
Lake sediments of possible middle Pleistocene age (Sample EL-1-92) were examined for macrofloral remains. This sample was collected from a streambank exposure of Pleistocene lake beds which are an estimated 700,000 years old. It is believed that the lake formed during the Kansan glaciation when the...

| Summary: | Lake sediments of possible middle Pleistocene age (Sample EL-1-92) were examined for macrofloral remains. This sample was collected from a streambank exposure of Pleistocene lake beds which are an estimated 700,000 years old. It is believed that the lake formed during the Kansan glaciation when the Laurentide ice sheet dammed the Kansas River valley (Jack Oviatt, personal communication, July 31, 1992). Macrofloral analysis will be used to determine if remains represent modern or Pleistocene vegetation. |
