Pleistocene 0.0117 - 2.588 Ma ID: 2900428 | Prairie Terraces Age: Pleistocene (0.0117 - 2.588 Ma) Description: Light gray to light brown clay, sandy clay, silt, sand, and some gravels. Comments: Surfaces generally show little dissection and are topographically higher than the Deweyville. Three levels are recognized:two along alluvial valleys, the lower coalescing with its broad coastwise expression;the third, still lower, found intermittently gulfward.
