- Consolidated Pit 48: Both spruce wood (Picea sp.) and a variety of vertebrate fossils from this locality have been dated to the Mid-Wisconsinan Interstadial. The fossils were recovered from the so-called Saskatchewan Gravels, represented by 3-5 m of intercalated, cross-bedded gravels and sands laid down as braided-channel deposits in the thalweg of the Beverly valley, the pre-glacial ancestor of the North Saskatchewan River valley (Burns and Young, 1994: 393).
