MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF LACUSTRINE SEDIMENTS FROM QUATERNARY DEPOSITS NEAR MANHATTAN, KANSAS
Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman
Year: 1992
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.
