Abstract

A new cervine deer (Torontoceros hypogaeus) ... has been recovered from deposits of early Lake Ontario age on the exposed bench of Glacial Lake Iroquois at Toronto, Ontario, Canada. ... A 14C date of 11,315 ± 325 yr BP obtained on the antler allows the date at which Glacial Lake Iroquois drained to be revised to before 11,400 yr BP. Spruce (Picea ), pine (Pinus ), and sedges (Cyperaceae) are major components of the associated pollen spectrum, which implies a typically interstadial or postglacial climate in which mixed forests grew in the Toronto area.
