    SUBSURFACE GEOLOGY OF THE LOWER GENESEE RIVER VALLEY REGION: A PROGRESS REPORT ON THE EVIDENCE FOR MIDDLE WISCONSIN SEDIMENTS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR ICE SHEET EROSION MODELS RICHARD A. YOUNG LES SIRKIN Department of Geological Sciences Department of Earth Sciences SUNY College at Geneseo Adelph i Un iversity Geneseo, NY 14454 Garden City, NY 11530 INTRODUCTION Deep bore holes and gravel pit exposures in the Genesee Valley region north of Avon (Figure 1,9) have provided a number of organic-rich sedimentary horizons that have been dated at the University of Arizona AMS facility in the range between 26,000 and >48,800 years BP. A majority of the finite age determinations lie within the interval from 30,000± to 43,700± years BP, implying a Middle Wisconsin age for the deposits sampled. Most of the materials dated were collected from buried glacial outwash, lacustrine sequences, or overridden peat incorporated in younger till. The stratigraphic relationships suggest that the dated materials are most likely correlative with the Plum Point and/or Port Talbot Interstadials best known from localities in Ontario, Canada. NEW YORK STATE lOOKM GENESEE RIVER BASIN Figure 1: Location of Irondequoit Bay and Middle Wisconsin gravel pit site in Genesee Valley. 89 The most likely timing of the main ice advance into the Genesee Valley, based on the average of the best constrained ages, is circa 35,000± years BP. This coincides with the recent revision of the H-4 Heinrich event (iceberg discharges) in the north Atlantic and the Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles seen in the Greenland ice' cores (Bond and others, 1992, 1993; Taylor and others, 1993).
