Late Pleistocene Glaciations of the Snag-Klutlan Area

ABSTRACT. Two late Pleistocene limits of glaciation were delineated in the Snag-Klutlan area. Radiocarbon dates, surficial characteristics of its drift, and the palynol-ogy of overlying sediments imply the older glaciation (Mirror Creek) is early Wis-consin in age; the younger glaciation (Macauley)...
