Late-glacial Coleoptera fauna from Lismore, Nova Scotia

Fossil Coleoptera from a late-glacial site near Lismore, Nova Scotia record paleoclimatic and paleoecological conditions prior to the Younger Dryas in eastern Canada. A buried peat deposit dated 11,900 years B.P. near the base and 10,500 years B.P. at the top contains a small insect fauna that inclu...
