POLLEN ANALYSIS OF LOW TERRACE GRAVELS, SOUTH PLATTE RIVER, COLORADO

Summary

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.
