Résumé du colloque

The Prelate Ferry Paleosol occurs on the Lower till in the sides of the South Saskatchewan Valley near Prelate, Saskatchewan, under two tills and stratified sediments. It comprises all horizons characteristic of a planosol or a solodised-solonetz at the surface, and hence it presumably developed under a climate similar to today's. It is leached and weathered, and shows a grain-size distribution and clay mineral content typical of soils at the surface. The paleosol was buried about 20,000 years ago by the last major ice-advance into the area.
