  • Reinterpretation of the Burmester Core, Bonneville Basin, Utah

    Open AccessCharles G Oviatt, Robert S Thompson et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1999

    Initial interpretation of the sediments from the Burmester core (Eardley et al. (1973). Geological Society of America Bulletin 84, 211–216) indicated that 17 deep-lake cycles, separated by shallow-lake and soil-forming intervals, occurred in the Bonneville basin during the Brunhes Chron (the last 780 × 10 3 yr). Our re-examination of the core, along with new sedimentological, geochronological, and paleontological data, indicate that only four dee…

  • Black Mats, Spring-Fed Streams, and Late-Glacial-Age Recharge in the Southern Great Basin

    Open AccessJay Quade, Richard M Forester et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1998

    Black mats are prominent features of the late Pleistocene and Holocene stratigraphic record in the southern Great Basin. Faunal, geochemical, and sedimentological evidence shows that the black mats formed in several microenvironments related to spring discharge, ranging from wet meadows to shallow ponds. Small land snails such as Gastrocopta tappaniana and Vertigo berryi are the most common mollusk taxa present. Semiaquatic and aquatic taxa are l…

  • Mid-Holocene Climate in Northern Minnesota

    Open AccessRichard M Forester, L Denis Delorme et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1987

    Study of Holocene ostracodes and diatoms from Elk Lake, in North-Central Minnesota, indicates that the local climate of the mid-Holocene can be subdivided into three intervals. Throughout interval 1 (ca. 7800 to 6700 yr B.P.), climate was colder and much drier than today. During intervals 2 and 3 (ca. 6700 to 4000 yr B.P.) average mean-annual air temperatures approached the modern mean (3.7°C), but warm summers persisted throughout interval 2, wh…

  • San Agustin Plains, New Mexico

    Open AccessVera Markgraf, J Platt Bradbury et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1984

    Paleomagnetic analysis of samples from the original 600-m-long core from the San Agustin Plains, New Mexico, showed an unquestionable reversal stratigraphy dating the record back to at least 1.6 my. Analysis of pollen, ostracodes, and algae of a duplicate sample section in the vicinity of the original coring site and spanning the last 18,000 yr B.P. shows a much higher resolution than the earlier results.
