Map of the distribution of bedrock types related to Lake Michigan

Map of the distribution of bedrock types beneath and surrounding the southern end of Lake Michigan, of the dominant direction of ice flow and of the localities where counts were made of pebbles in the glacial till(Valparaiso). Below is a plot of the distribution of pebble types with respect to the sample sites. Note the strong relationship between the type of predominating pebble and the proximity to bedrock of the same composition (Dapples, 1959, p. 412).

Map showing the distribution of loess

Loess. Map showing the distribution of loess deposits in cnetral United States and their relationship to rivers that carried glacial meltwater during the retreat of the great continental glaciers of the Pleistocene (Zumberge 1958, p. 125).

Map showing the large modern lakes, remnants of former Lake Agassiz

Map showing the large modern lakes in black which are the remnants of the largest single body of fresh water ever to cover the North American continent, Lake Agassiz. This body of water formed as the retreating Wisconsin ice sheet released large quantities of meltwater. Lake Agassiz discharged first down the Minnisota River which joins the Mississippi River at Minneapolis and St. Paul. Later, however, the ice retreated farther north and uncovered a lower outlet to Hudson Bay (Zumberge 1958, p. 355).

Mastodon and mammoth teeth

Mastodon and mammoth teeth. Above, a sideview of a tooth of a mastodon showing the paired cusps; below, a top vier of a tooth of an elephant or mammoth showing the infolding of the enamel to strengthen the tooth for grazing. The scales are in centimeters (After Clark and Stearn, 1960, p. 375).
