1. The South Chinese fauna suggests an open woodland environment but, by the early Pleistocene, humid forest conditions were established.
2. The work has shown that from the late Neogene to the mid Pleistocene a huge delta system developed in the southern North Sea basin.
3. Another important section is concerned with the present-day distribution and ecology of the birds and mammals that have survived from the British Pleistocene.
4. The fossil remains of beetles, including the hard elytra, have been extensively used in the interpretation of the climatic history of the Pleistocene ice advances and retreats, because the species of beetle present in peat deposits change in harmony with the climatic fluctuations.
5. Pontnewydd Cave (fig. 7.11) is situated near Rhyl in North Wales and is one of only two British sites having hominid remains of the Middle Pleistocene period.
6. Twenty thousand years ago, at the end of the Pleistocene, the melting of North America's last great ice sheet engorged what is now the Susquehanna River, which then enlarged the Chesapeake Valley.
7. The general form of the landscape, low-lying in North Uist, South Uist and Benbecula, gently undulating in Lewis and mountainous in Harris, was established well before the Pleistocene glaciations, when the islands were covered by ice, whose movements were affected by radial outflow from a snow accumulation centre on Harris.
8. Pleistocene vertebrates in the British Isles by A. J. Stuart, Longman, pp 212, 16.50
9. Contained within the breccias are the fossilized bones of many animals that lived in this part of Britain during the middle Pleistocene, and we will be describing the way in which the fossil bones of the smaller animals came to be deposited.
10. Mayhew found that the bones from the pellets of the common buzzard and kestrel had been partly dissolved away, with broken ends of limb bones eroded to pointed ends, and he found similar types of modification in some fossil bones from middle Pleistocene deposits at West Runton (Norfolk).
11. The cave was formed some time during the early part of the Pleistocene, over one million years ago, and it became filled with sediment during the middle Pleistocene approximately 350 to 400 thousand years ago.
12. In the former, Stuart hints at how we can compare Pleistocene species with living species, but some more details are necessary, and certainly references to one or two works on statistical morphometric techniques.
13. During the Pleistocene, however, things might have been different: as the ice sheets moved further south they brought tundra conditions to latitudes as far south as Spain, and the resulting climate and environment at these lower latitudes would have been unlike anything known today because of differences in rainfall and solar incidence.
