STRATIGRAPHIC POLLEN ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENTS, WESLEY CHAPEL GULF CORE, HOOSIER NATIONAL FOREST, INDIANA

Summary

Sediments in the Wesley Chapel Gulf were cored to provide a stratigraphic record for

examining past vegetation. Ninety-five pollen samples were examined from this core to provide

close-interval examination of the paleoenvironmental record. At this writing, no information is

available concerning the basal date for this core, nor the approximate time period of accumulation

for the sediments. Frequent flooding and depositional hiatuses are noted for this area, creating

a sediment record from the historic era well into the past. Pollen analysis creates a record of past

vegetation for the time period represented by these sediments.
