  • Middle Wisconsin glacial advance into the Appalachian Plateau, Sixmile Creek, Tompkins Co., NY

    Open AccessDaniel E Karig, Norton G MillerARTICLEQuaternary Research2013

    Areal mapping of the middle Wisconsin varved clay site along Sixmile Creek near Ithaca, New York, has revealed a much more widespread and varied array of sediments than previously thought. Lacustrine clays, some varved, are interbedded with sands and gravels interpreted as sub-aqueous fan deposits, and both are overlain by a deformation till. Nine radiocarbon dates indicate a 34–37 14 C ka BP age for the lacustrine sediment, with the deformation …

  • Mastodon herbivory in mid-latitude late-Pleistocene boreal forests of eastern North America

    Open AccessChelsea Teale, Chelsea L Teale et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2012

    Skeletal remains of the extinct American mastodon have often been found with deposits of short, decorticated twigs intermixed with plant fragments presumed to be gastrointestinal or fecal material. If such deposits are digesta, paleobotanical evidence may be used to analyze mastodon foraging strategy, with implications for assessing habitat selection, ecological roles, and response to environmental change. To identify components of mastodon diet …

  • Associated terrestrial and marine fossils in the late-glacial Presumpscot Formation, southern Maine, USA, and the marine reservoir effect on radiocarbon ages

    Open AccessWoodrow B Thompson, Carol B Griggs et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2011

    Excavations in the late-glacial Presumpscot Formation at Portland, Maine, uncovered tree remains and other terrestrial organics associated with marine invertebrate shells in a landslide deposit. Buds of Populus balsamifera (balsam poplar) occurred with twigs of Picea glauca (white spruce) in the Presumpscot clay. Tree rings in Picea logs indicate that the trees all died during winter dormancy in the same year. Ring widths show patterns of variati…

  • Sedimentologic and palynologic records of the last deglaciation and Holocene from Ballston Lake, New York

    Open AccessJaime L Toney, Donald T Rodbell et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2003

    Continuous pollen and sediment records from two ∼8.5-m-long cores document late Pleistocene and Holocene sedimentation and vegetation change in the Ballston Lake basin, eastern New York State. Pebbles at the base of both cores and the geomorphology of the watershed reflect the presence of the Mohawk River in the basin prior to ∼12,900 ± 70 cal yr B.P. Ballston Lake formed at the onset of the Younger Dryas (YD) by an avulsion of the Mohawk River. …

  • Paleobiology of the Sand Beneath the Valders Diamicton at Valders, Wisconsin

    Open AccessL James Maher, Louis J Maher et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1998

    Previously undescribed pollen, plant macrofossils, molluscs, and ostracodes were recovered from a 2.5-m-thick glaciolacustrine unit of silty sand and clay at Valders, Wisconsin. The interstadial sediment was deposited about 12,200 14 C yr B.P. after retreat of the Green Bay lobe that deposited diamicton of the Horicon Formation, and before advance of the Lake Michigan lobe that deposited the red-brown diamicton of the Valders Member of the Kewaun…

  • A Biota Associated with Matuyama-Age Sediments in West-Central Illinois

    Open AccessBarry B Miller, Russell W Graham et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1994

    A fossil assemblage containing molluscs, mammals, insects, ostracodes, and plants has been recovered from a silt-filled depression near Lima, in west-central Illinois. The reversed remanent magnetic signature of the sediments and the temporal ranges of two mammals, Microtus paroperarius and Lasiopodomys deceitensis, constrain the age of the assemblage to between 730,000 and 830,000 yr B.P. The extent of isoleucine epimerization in the molluscan s…

  • Paleoecological Interpretation and Age of an Interstadial Lake Bed in Western New York

    Open AccessNorton G Miller, Parker E CalkinARTICLEQuaternary Research1992

    Pollen assemblages from a 6.6-m exposure of Pleistocene lake silt in central western New York consist of anomalous mixtures dominated by spruce, pine, and sedge but with a significant representation of deciduous forest elements. Leaves of Dryas integrifolia and plants of the terrestrial moss Distichium from the lake silt yielded AMS ages of 24,900 ± 1000 and 24,180 ± 900 yr B.P., indicating that the silt was deposited during the middle Wisconsina…

  • California Condor Associated with Spruce-Jack Pine Woodland in the Late Pleistocene of New York

    Open AccessDavid W Steadman, Norton G MillerARTICLEQuaternary Research1987

    A humerus, coracoid, and pedal phalanx of the California Condor, Gymnogyps californianus , were recovered from the Hiscock Site in western New York, in an inorganic stratum containing wood that is 11,000 radiocarbon years old. Associated vertebrates include mastodont, wapiti, and caribou. Pollen and plant macrofossils from the sediments indicate a spruce-jack pine woodland and a local, herb-dominated wetland community. Historic records (all from …

  • Paleohydrological Implications of Holocene Peatland Development in Northern Michigan

    Open AccessNorton G Miller, Richard P FutymaARTICLEQuaternary Research1987

    Sediment, pollen, and plant macrofossil stratigraphies from two small oligotrophic Chamaedaphne-Sphagnum peatlands provide data about local hydrologic changes in northern Michigan during the Holocene. Gleason Bog started about 8000 yr B.P. as a shallow pond that supported rich fen vegetation. After it was partly filled with peat and sand (about 4000 yr B.P.), the vegetation changed to oligotrophic bog. At Gates Bog paludification starting about 3…
