The extinctions during the Late Pleistocene are differentiated from previous extinctions by its extreme size bias towards large animals (with small animals being largely unaffected), and widespread absence of ecological succession to replace these extinct megafaunal species, [3] and the regime shift of previously established faunal ...
T. cuvieri became extinct in Europe in the late Middle Pleistocene, during the Saalian glaciation (~300-125,000 years ago). [1] The last record of the species is from the Late Pleistocene of Manchuria near Harbin in Northeast China, around 40,000 years old. Its disappearance might be related to the arrival of hunter gatherers into the region.
The shaded relief map of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea area contoured at -100 m depth. [7] [8]In Florida, the pristine mustached bat became locally extinct at the end of the Pleistocene, [3] [5] what probably resulted from the rise in sea level, the subsequent flooding of caves and loss of roosting sites.
Eocene–Oligocene extinction event: 33.9 Ma: Multiple causes including global cooling, polar glaciation, falling sea levels, and the Popigai impactor [12] Cretaceous: Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event: 66 Ma Chicxulub impactor; the volcanism which resulted in the formation of the Deccan Traps may have contributed. [13] Cenomanian ...
Over 50 genera (~ 83%) of megafauna in South and North America went extinct during the Pleistocene. [42] most mega mammals (>1000kg) and large mammals (>40kg) went extinct by the end of the Late Pleistocene. [43] During this period there was a major cooling event called the Younger Dryas and the Clovis culture of capturing game became more ...
Highly specialised for grazing, with the narrowest range of all Pleistocene ground quirrels. The latest possible date is the Atlantic, and its extinction was probably related to the local collapse of the mammoth steppe. [19] Spermophilus superciliosus: North Central Europe and the British Isles to Crimea and the Middle Urals
Calabrian is a subdivision of the Pleistocene Epoch of the geologic time scale, defined as 1.8 Ma—774,000 years ago ± 5,000 years, a period of ~. The end of the stage is defined by the last magnetic pole reversal (781 ± 5 Ka) and plunge into an ice age and global drying possibly colder and drier than the late Miocene through early Pliocene cold period.
