Site discused: George Reserve. Site is un-named by Andersen but is stated to be in the Edwin S. George Reserve in Livingstone County in Michigan. The Reserve still exists and is owned and operated by Michigan University. There are several small ponds in the Reserve; it is not clear from Andersen's description which one was sampled. There are no radiocarbon dates for the core. Pollen assemblage includes both boreal and eastern forest elements. Andersen concludes that the boreal elements were likely recycled and redeposited from older sediments. Of particular interest is the occurrence of a few grains of Ephedra pollen, referred to E. nevadensis. This is likely the result of long-distance transport. Occasional Ephedra grains have been found in other records (e.g., in the Great Lakes area and in western Canada).
