Late Pleistocene ICS Stage
(Upper Pleistocene, Tarantian)
From 0.126 +/- 0.005 To 0.01143 +/- 0.00013 Ma
Start Defined By: Base of the Eemian interglacial stage (base of marine
isotope stage 5e) before final glacial episode of Pleistocene.
End Defined By: Excatly 10,000 Carbon-14 years BP. Near the end of the
Younger Dryas cold spell.
Start Based On: Gradstein, Ogg, Smith, _A Geologic Time Scale 2004_
End Based On: CALIB Radiocarbon Calculator version 4.4 using INTCAL98
calibration curve.
