Site Notes:
• Mid Holocene drowned forest in Lake Huron
• Nipissing transgression in the southern Lake Huron Basin
This is another a Mid Holocene drowned forest bed in the southern Lake Huron located a few miles offshore of Lexington Township, MI. We have only one specimen analyzed from the site sampled with the help of deep-water divers led by Captain Luke Clyburn. It was a pine stump with 98 tree rings. Most likely, this site is similar to the Mid Holocene drown forest at Sanilac site (TBDH/SFDH) located in the vicinity.
