EXAMINATION OF BULK SEDIMENT AND DETRITAL CHARCOAL SAMPLES FROM STUDY SITES IN THE NORTH PLATTE RIVER PROJECT, WYOMING
Author(s): Kathryn Puseman
Year: 1999
Summary
Bulk sediment and detrital charcoal samples were recovered from paleoflood study sites
along the North Platte River in southeastern Wyoming. These sites are part of the North Platte
River Project and represent the lower section of the river from Casper, Wyoming, to Guernsey
Reservoir. Samples were recovered from soils developed on stream terraces along the North
Platte River in order to obtain radiocarbon dates to estimate ages for the terraces. Botanic
components and detrital charcoal were identified in the samples, and potentially radiocarbon
datable material was separated.
