Comments
EbLo-VP, Portage diversion: This sample was submitted by E. Nielsen to gain information on lake level change in Lake Manitoba, and the barrier beach transgression. The sample consisted of organic muck and fibrous plants, associated with muskrat and frog bones, and is interpreted as having been deposited in a marsh environment.
