Early Pleistocene Sediments in Indiana

Authors: William J. Wayne;

Early Pleistocene Sediments in Indiana

Abstract

Exposures of both glacial and non-glacial sediments that are correlated with Kansan and Yarmouth stages have been discovered recently in southern Indiana. Distribution of Kansan stage till indicates that the Kansan glacier probably covered about the same amount of the state as did the Illinoian ice. A paleosol on Kansan stage till is leached of carbonates to a depth of 9-11 feet. Fossiliferous proglacial loess conformably underlies the Kansan stage till at one locality and is named the Cagle silt. Assemblages of mollusks recovered from the Cagle silt and from the top of an alluvial silt of Yarmouth age indicate that at both times the climate in south-central Indiana was cool and moist, probably resembling the present-day climate in central Ontario.
