Abstract
The Rice Lake landform has been attributed to various formational mechanisms leading to identification as a stratified drumlin. Results suggest that while similar in height and width, the length far exceeds that of neighbouring drumlins. Surface permeability data and water well logs show this landform to be unique among neighbouring drumlins in being comprised of coarser sands and gravels. In a regional context, the landform is better identified as an extension of the Norwood esker suggesting the composition of the Peterborough drumlins is best explained through multiple subglacial processes and is the result of an equifinality of such processes.
