POLLEN, DIATOM, AND MACROFLORAL ANALYSIS OF SAMPLES FROM A CORE NEAR CROSS PLAINS, WISCONSIN

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Barbara Winsborough; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2011

Summary

Six samples representing marsh, lacustrine, and outwash sediment deposits were removed from a core that was collected from a small tributary flowing south into Black Earth Creek just outside the town of Cross Plains, Wisconsin for the purpose of recovering pollen, diatoms, and macrofloral remains. Analysis of these samples was undertaken as a pilot study to examine preservation and the potential for recovering information about vegetation and the paleoenvironmental history of this area from approximately the Last Glacial Maximum until nearly the middle Holocene. Assessment of these paleoenvironmental proxies will provide information to direct future studies.
