Reworked Lake Plain Technical Terms
Reworked Lake Plain: The bottom of a shallow, extinct glacial lake composed of thin (e.g., < 2 m thick), fine-textured, reworked lacustrine sediments that overlie outwash or till; original lacustrine sediments have been subsequently redistributed primarily by wave action (eroded and / or moved a short distance). A distinctive lake plain topography is not always present. It may include subdued, till-capped topographic highs, ringed by shores or strandlines that were once emergent islands. Common to MI, OH. Compare – till-floored lake plain. SW
