Geology 2011-02-20T03:00:12.660Z It may be added that fossil remains of the African elephant have been obtained from Spain, Sicily, Algeria and Egypt, in strata of the Pleistocene age. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 3 "Electrostatics" to "Engis" 2011-02-06T03:00:53.093Z If they are magnified still more the result is apparently glacial epochs like those of the Pleistocene, and if they are magnified to a still greater extent, the result is Permian or Proterozoic glaciation. Climatic Changes Their Nature and Causes 2011-10-28T02:00:24.840Z In North America species of Equus occur in the Pleistocene and from that continent others reached South America during the same epoch. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 7 "Equation" to "Ethics" 2011-02-27T03:00:31.973Z During the Pleistocene great climatic changes occurred, and large glaciers existed in several regions which now enjoy a temperate climate and are densely populated. North America 2011-05-05T02:00:20.027Z Indeed, the belief is now gaining ground, that the so-called glacial epoch of Pleistocene times was not one long continuous age of ice, but rather consisted of an alternation of warm and cold periods. Geology 2011-02-20T03:00:12.660Z True armadillos, it should be observed, are known in North America as far north as Texas, from the Pleistocene onwards; but in formations of middle Tertiary age are unrepresented.

North America 2011-05-05T02:00:20.027Z What kind of climate characterised the northern hemisphere at the beginning of Pleistocene times? Geology 2011-02-20T03:00:12.660Z Even in the Argentine Pleistocene there is an extinct genus, Chlamydotherium, represented by a species of the size of a rhinoceros, with grooved teeth approximating to those of the glyptodonts. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 8, Slice 10 "Echinoderma" to "Edward" 2011-01-19T03:00:19.027Z Taken all and all, the Permian glaciation seems to be accounted for by the cyclonic hypothesis quite as well as does the Pleistocene.

Geology 2011-02-20T03:00:12.660Z Most Pleistocene birds are generically, even specifically, identical with recent forms; some, however, have become extinct, or they have become exterminated by man. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Slice 7 "Bible" to "Bisectrix" 2010-12-20T17:12:05.780Z For all these reasons, so long as storminess remained great, the Pleistocene snowfields, according to the solar hypothesis, must have deepened and expanded. Climatic Changes Their Nature and Causes 2011-10-28T02:00:24.840Z As the Pleistocene period ended approximately 12,000 years ago with the passing of the last Ice Age, people were spreading from Asia to North America and south into what is now the U.S. Portals to Other Realities 2010-09-17T21:41:00Z When sea level rose at the end of the Pleistocene, most of the earth’s rivers responded by filling their canyons with sediments and their canyons were buried. Questions on Congo River Fishes 2010-09-10T21:13:00Z Though geologic records show evidence of underground coal fires dating to the Pleistocene era, modern-day coal fires are often an unintended side effect of mining operations that open coal seams to oxygen.

Climatic Changes Their Nature and Causes 2011-10-28T02:00:24.840Z Yes, and I verily believe he'd put his coat on inside out, or wear two hats, or do something horrible, if he were thinking very hard of the Pleistocene period. The Jolliest Term on Record A Story of School Life This Pleistocene California fauna included many beasts which persisted in the land until our own day. A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open Above these comes the series now in progress, variously called, Quaternary, Post-Tertiary, and Pleistocene, or "most recent." The Old Riddle and the Newest Answer This probably took place in early Pleistocene times, at which time the Isle of Pines and Cuba were connected. The History of Cuba, vol. 1 It would presumably cross another center in Greenland, and then would traverse the fourth of the great centers of Pleistocene glaciation in Scandinavia. Climatic Changes Their Nature and Causes 2011-10-28T02:00:24.840Z To these African animals inhabiting the Iberian peninsula in the Pleistocene age, Lartet has added the African elephant and striped hyena, found in a stratum of gravel near Madrid, along with flint implements.

A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open The British fauna of the present day is no doubt complex, but no more so than the fauna of the most recent of our geological deposits—the Pleistocene. The History of the European Fauna It may be added here that all of the elevated Pleistocene coral reefs recorded are plastered on the surface of the upper Oligocene formations, or in some instances older geologic rocks. The History of Cuba, vol. 1 Since much more is known about the recent Great Ice Age, or Pleistocene glaciation, than about the more ancient glaciations, the problems of the Pleistocene will receive especial attention. Climatic Changes Their Nature and Causes 2011-10-28T02:00:24.840Z The conchological evidence respecting the British Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene fossils, examined by Mr. Forbes, in the paper before cited, p.

A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open All human remains known belong either to the Pleistocene or Modern. The Origin of the World According to Revelation and Science The land-connexion between England and the continent was not finally severed until the latter part of the Pleistocene period. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 9, Slice 4 "England" to "English Finance" In the Pleistocene, however, terrestrial conditions permitted glaciation, and therefore the supposed increase in storminess caused great ice sheets. Climatic Changes Their Nature and Causes 2011-10-28T02:00:24.840Z The Lake of Moeris, as a large body of fresh water, appears to have come into existence in Pleistocene times.

Pleistocene Soricidae from San Josecito Cave, Nuevo Leon, Mexico In short, for months my companions and I travelled and hunted in the Pleistocene. A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open This would indicate a great antiquity of man in Australia, and would enable us to account for the fossilised remains of the dingo in Pleistocene deposits as those of an animal introduced by man. Island Life Or the Phenomena and Causes of Insular Faunas and Floras In late Pleistocene time these hills were probably of low relief. Geographic Distribution and Taxonomy of the Chipmunks of Wyoming Moreover, the distribution of the centers of glaciation both in the Permian and Pleistocene periods does not seem to conform to this hypothesis. Climatic Changes Their Nature and Causes 2011-10-28T02:00:24.840Z This record, as far as I can determine, constitutes a southward extension of the known Pleistocene or Recent range of this species of approximately 800 miles. Pleistocene Soricidae from San Josecito Cave, Nuevo Leon, Mexico The Manchurian form of the tiger is an enormous beast, and a careful comparison of the skulls and skeletons may show that it equals in size the huge western American cat of Pleistocene times.

North American Yellow Bats, 'Dasypterus,' And a List of the Named Kinds Of the Genus Lasiurus Gray The true brick-clays, however, are superficial deposits of Pleistocene or Quaternary age, and occur in hollows, filled-up lakes and deserted stream channels. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 6, Slice 4 "Cincinnatus" to "Cleruchy" These occurrences show that the species is not restricted to the extreme western part of the state, but occurs in suitable habitats throughout the basin of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville. Additional Records and Extensions of Known Ranges of Mammals from Utah Therefore, unless the habitat preferences of the species have changed since Pleistocene times, this find constitutes additional evidence that more humid conditions at one time prevailed in the regions mentioned. Pleistocene Soricidae from San Josecito Cave, Nuevo Leon, Mexico One, a bison, bigger, straighter-horned and less specialized than our modern bison, represented the cattle, which were among the animals that passed to America over the Alaskan land bridge in Pleistocene time. A Book-Lover's Holidays in the Open In the Pleistocene age there existed in Central Europe a rude race of hunters and fishers, closely allied to the Esquimaux. History of the Intellectual Development of Europe, Volume I (of 2) Revised Edition The present distribution of these two species is attributable to the uplift of the Rocky Mountains in the Pleistocene. Taxonomy of the Chipmunks, Eutamias quadrivittatus and Eutamias umbrinus This record indicates that the species occurs in the mountainous areas on the western margins of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville, and extends the known range in Utah approximately 150 miles northward. Additional Records and Extensions of Known Ranges of Mammals from Utah As far as I know the species has not previously been recorded from the Pleistocene. Pleistocene Soricidae from San Josecito Cave, Nuevo Leon, Mexico It is at least possible—further investigation may or may not show it to be more than possible—that the huge Pleistocene cat of western America was the collateral ancestor of the Manchurian tiger.

Natural History of the Brush Mouse (Peromyscus boylii) in Kansas With Description of a New Subspecies The fossil gophers are not from the talus of the cave floor, which is evidently of subrecent origin, but from the Pleistocene deposits below. Pleistocene Pocket Gophers From San Josecito Cave, Nuevo Leon, Mexico I judge S. milleri to be a relict population of S. cinereus, isolated in the mountains of northeastern Mexico, probably in the late Pleistocene. Taxonomy and Distribution of Some American Shrews The bones of Pleistocene mammals, the rhinoceros, mammoth, bison, hyaena, &c., have been found at numerous places, often in caves and fissures in the limestones, e.g. at Castleton, Wirksworth and Creswell.

Progress and History For the very first time, man—a Pleistocene man—had made a clear cerebral distinction of cause and effect. The Beginning Concerning the antiquity of the Pleistocene age, which was characterized by such extraordinary vicissitudes of heat and cold, there has been, as in all questions relating to geological time, much conflict of opinion. The Discovery of America Vol. 1 (of 2) with some account of Ancient America and the Spanish Conquest The last 200 feet or so of deposits we call the Pleistocene or Quaternary; the rest are known as the Tertiary strata. More Science From an Easy Chair Game was so plentiful during the late Pleistocene period that we may suppose that the Cave-men usually had plenty of food. The Later Cave-Men The former came the earlier and stayed until the late Pleistocene period, when the later cavemen hunted the reindeer. The Tree-Dwellers One could write a natural history of the Pleistocene, complete with photographs and sketches, and it would be a pointless thing to do, because no future scientist would ever have a chance to read it. Project Mastodon A series of observations and discoveries kept up for the last half-century seem to show that North America has been continuously inhabited by human beings since the earliest Pleistocene times, if not earlier. The Discovery of America Vol. 1 (of 2) with some account of Ancient America and the Spanish Conquest The wonderful thing is that the bones found by Miss Bate are light and well preserved, evidently not very ancient—probably late Pleistocene in age.

The Later Cave-Men This species was abundant until the close of the Pleistocene period, when it became extinct. The Tree-Dwellers There were, it is true, during the Tertiary and Pleistocene, lions and other carnivores considerably larger than the living species. Dinosaurs With Special Reference to the American Museum Collections They show that in Pleistocene times the glaciers of Kilimanjaro and Kenya extended much farther down the mountain slopes. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 4, Part 3 "Brescia" to "Bulgaria" These little nocturnal burrowing edentates are the puny representatives of the gigantic Glyptodon of Pleistocene times, and the sloths are the dwindling shadows of the lordly Megatherium. The Andes and the Amazon Across the Continent of South America From an examination of the skeletons which have been referred to the late Pleistocene period, it is evident that the Cave-men were able to treat wounds and to set bones.
