The Quaternary in North Dakota, US

Paleontology and geology

Glaciers flowed across the northeastern two-thirds of North Dakota during the Quaternary, and debris deposited by the melting ice still covers much of the surface. Fossils of mastodons, mammoths, horses, bison, giant ground sloths, and camels have been recovered from Quaternary deposits in the state.
