Description :
In this paper we examine plant and insect fossils extracted from both the exposed and buried sediments in the sand pit (units 3 and 4 of Veillette and Nixon, 1984) and infer the paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic conditions existing at the time of deposition. Based on these findings, we show the stratigraphic position of these sediments in the Quaternary sequence of events for the central St. Lawrence Lowlands.
