- Comments
- DlLh-VP2, Ruby Street: About 0.3 m of homogeneous stiff blue clay was overlain by pea gravel and cross-bedded sand containing numerous articulated freshwater clams, pieces of wood, and parts of a bison skeleton. The sand was overlain by very fine laminated silty clay of undetermined thickness. The clay at the base of the sequence was probably deposited in Lake Agassiz, and the overlying sand, gravel and silt is probably a point bar deposit associated with the formation of the Assiniboine River terrace.
