The Wolstonian Stage is a middle Pleistocene stage of the geological history of Earth from approximately 374,000 until 130,000 years ago. It precedes the Last Interglacial (also called the Eemian Stage) and follows the Hoxnian Stage in the British Isles.

Jun 29, 2022 · Here we present sedimentological and stratigraphical observations from five sites across the English West Midlands whose chronology is constrained by new luminescence ages from glaciofluvial sediments, supplemented by cosmogenic 36 Cl …

The term 'Wolstonian' refers to a glaciation stage during the English Midlands' glacial sequence, characterized by the deposition of two tills, the Thrussington and Oadby Members, along with associated sands and gravels.

The Saale glaciation or Saale Glaciation, sometimes referred to as the Saalian glaciation, Saale cold period (German: Saale-Kaltzeit), Saale complex (Saale-Komplex) or Saale glacial stage (called the Wolstonian Stage in Britain), covers the middle of the three large glaciations in Northern Europe and the northern parts of Eastern Europe ...

Aug 6, 2024 · The Wolstonian (= Saalian) Stage is broadly equivalent to MIS 11b–6a (Fig. 1). The sequence comprises a series of fluvial, glacial and glaciolacustrine sediments identified over a large area in the west and central Midlands (Bishop 1958; Rice 1968, 1981; Rice & Douglas 1991; Sumbler 2001; Gibson et al.

May 8, 2018 · Wolstonian The glaciation that followed the Hoxnian Interglacial; a pale, chalky till (the Gipping Till) occurs in East Anglia, England, and the stone orientation and the included erratics suggest a movement from the north.

Jan 1, 1991 · The Wolstonian Stage is now known to span multiple glacial cycles (MIS 10À6) with the Late Wolstonian glaciation equivalent to that during MIS 6 (5Late Saalian Substage).

Here we present sedimentological and stratigraphical observations from five sites across the English West Midlands whose chronology is constrained by new luminescence ages from glaciofluvial sediments, supplemented by cosmogenic 36 Cl exposure dating of erratic boulders.

Anglian Stage (QA) — Wolstonian Stage (QO) Lithological Description: Comprises the pre-Devensian glacial succession of much of the English Midlands. Predominantly tills, sands, gravels and laminated clays.

Apr 23, 2024 · "Wolstonian Stage" published on by Oxford University Press. A group of deposits representing a geostratigraphic stage within the *Pleistocene series of the British *Quaternary System, named after the site of Wolston in Warwickshire, where a fine sequence of deposits of this period has been recorded.
