Abstract
The Wildwood Silts, of Erie Interstadial age (16,000 B.P.), occur between Catfish Creek Till (Nissouri Stadial) and Tavistock Till (Port Bruce Stadial) near St. Mary''s, Ontario [Canada]. Pollen analysis of a 16 m core through the silts yields a pollen assemblage dominated by pine and spruce pollen, resembling those reported from Port Talbot II and Plum Point Interstadial sediments in Ontario. A forest-tundra environment is inferred at the time of the Erie Interstadial, with generally sparse vegetative cover.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
