Everything about The Wolstonian Glaciation totally explained
The
Wolstonian glaciation, or
Illinoian glaciation, was an
ice age period which occurred between 200,000 and 125,000 years ago. The first name is used by British
geologists and
archaeologists who named it after the site of
Wolston in the English county of
Warwickshire where deposits of this stage were first identified; the second refers to the glaciation present in what is now the
Midwestern United States. The glaciations occurred during the
Pleistocene stage of the
Quaternary period.
The Wolstonian glaciation and Illinoian glaciations are temporally analogous to the
Warthe glaciation and
Saalian glaciation in northern
Europe and the
Riss glaciation in the
Alps. It was the penultimate glacial phase of the Pleistocene. Its deposits have been found overlying material from the preceding
Hoxnian interglacial and lying beneath those from the following
Ipswichian interglacial periods.
Acheulian flint tools have been found in Wolstonian deposits.
