Lowell # # Sampling date: 2008/02/21 # Sampling device: Livingstone corer # Diameter(cm): 5 # Water depth(cm): 945 # Sample Storage: University of Cincinnati # Analysis method: Macroscopic charcoal methodology. Fine resolution and coarse resolution. # Fine resolution contiguous 2 cc samples taken at 1 cm increments. Treated # with SHMP & bleach; sieved and wet counted. # Coarse resolution 2 cc samples taken contiguously at 4 cm depth x 1 cm surface # width and v-channel cut. Treated with H2O2, sieved, oven-dried and counted. # # Location description: Big Fish Lake is found in the Ortonville Recreation Area (state park) in a deciduous # park. It is situated outside the Saginawa Lobe moraine (E of), and is of lacustrine # natural open water glacial origin. # Very fresh water lake during lateglacial time; ostracodes present (Cytherissa # lacustris) alternating with charophytes. Much of Big Fish lake sediments are gray # clay with many fine black laminations that disappear upon exposure to air. Limonite # and Najas seeds, are also features of this lake. # Bathymetric of Big Fish Lake: # http://www.dnr.state.mi.us/SPATIALDATALIBRARY/PDF_MAPS/INLAND_LAKE_MAPS/LAPEER/BIG_FISH_LAKE.PDF # map of park: # http://www.michigandnr.com/Publications/PDFS/RecreationCamping/ortonville_map.pdf # # Radiocarbon dates: # Sample ID Type of sample Abs.
