Measurements are reported on $sup 210$Pb, $sup 137$Cs, and stable lead in a series of ten cores from southern Lake Michigan. In nearly every core, significant subsurface anomalies occur, showing that nonexponential and presently uninterpretable features are the rule rather than the exception in the fine- grained sediments from southern Lake Michigan.
