EXPLORATORY POLLEN ANALYSIS OF THE BRYANT CORE, EVERGLADES, FLORIDA

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings

Year: 1993

Summary

Two pollen samples were selected from the base of a peat deposit and the

underlying marl within a core collected from the Everglades in Florida. Pollen

analysis was undertaken to ascertain whether or not pollen preservation was

sufficient for more closely spaced pollen analysis and to identify local

vegetation during formation of the marl. The pollen record examines the

different types of pollen recovered, as well as evaluating pollen preservation.

Estimated ages of these sediments are 5300 BP for the base of the peat and either 20,000 to 23,000 BP or between 9,000 and 13,000 BP for the lower marl deposit.
