Abstract

The Sunbeam Prairie bog formed since the Tazewell stage of the Wisconsin glaciation. The pollen sequence is dominated by spruce and is similar to that of Indiana bogs. Radiocarbon dating has given ages of 11,700 and 10,600 years for two distinctive horizons and permits identification of the Two Creeks interstadial interval in the pollen diagram.
