Site discussed: Elk Lake (Clearwater County). Short review of utility of ostracodes as a climate indicator. Notes that ostracodes show some short-term climate fluctuations in the Elk Lake record that are not shown in the pollen record. One particular taxon, Cadona rectangulata, appears at an interval estimated to span 10,900 to 10,600 yr BP. This is an indicator of cold summer conditions (currently confined to the north, where water temperatures remain cool). (04/12/2007). - Forester, R. M., L. D. Delorme, and L. P. Bradbury 1987
