POLLEN ANALYSIS OF LOW TERRACE GRAVELS, SOUTH PLATTE RIVER, COLORADO (1997)
DOCUMENT
Full-Text
Pollen analysis was undertaken on four samples from clay lenses within gravel deposits in the South Platte River valley north of Denver. Pollen analysis should provide a record of vegetation for each of these clay lenses. If the pollen record is similar to that expected for the Holocene, then the lens may be assumed to be Holocene; and if the pollen record is similar to that expected for the Pinedale glacial advance, then the deposits may be assumed to be of glacial age.
