Günz Glacial Stage

Günz Glacial Stage

      major division of Pleistocene time and deposits in the Alpine region of Europe (the Pleistocene Epoch began about 1,600,000 years ago and ended about 10,000 years ago). The Günz Glacial Stage is one of the early recognized divisions that reflected the importance of repeated Pleistocene glacial episodes. The Günz Glacial Stage preceded the Günz-Mindel Interglacial and followed the Donau-Günz Interglacial, both periods of relatively moderate climatic conditions. The Günz Stage is correlated with the Baventian Stage sequence of marine deposits of Great Britain and the Menapian Glacial Stage of northern Europe. It is broadly equivalent to the Nebraskan Glacial Stage of North America.
