- Comments
- AkGt-VP, Scarborough Bluffs: Remains of eastern chipmunk, meadow vole, and grey fox were recovered from a band of organic soil 1.2 m below turf covering an outwash fan that overlies a wave-cut bench of Lake Iroquois. The taxa suggest a moist, partly forested area with grassy patches. Associated charcoal and gastropods indicate the presence of a mixed forest.
