Abstract

During the Quaternary, Illinois was glaciated by the Laurentide Ice Sheet at least four times. New OSL ages on sand and gravel deposits indicate the penultimate glaciation occurred from ca.180-150 ka. New radiocarbon ages on fossils in ice-walled lake plains have refined the deglacial chronology of the last glaciation.
