Encyclopedia > Anglian glaciation

The Anglian glaciation is a name for an ice age period which occurred between 450,000 and 300,000 years ago. The name is used by British geologists and archaeologists who named it after the region of East Anglia where most of the deposits it created have been found.


It is a Pleistocene stage of the Quaternary period and is analogous to the Kansan glaciation in North America, the Elster glaciation in northern Europe and the Mindel glaciation in the Alps. It was a full glacial phase and its deposits directly overlie material from the preceding Cromerian interglacial and lie beneath those from the following Hoxnian interglacial


It was formerly known as the Lowestoft glaciation.
