Pleistocene and post-Pleistocene geology of Waterville, Maine
Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1917Introduction and Acknowledgments The material of this paper was prepared with two objects in view : first, to describe and interpret some of the sections exposed in the vicinity of Waterville, and thus add to the small amount of detailed literature existing on the Pleistocene of Maine; second, to add to the list of Pleistocene fossils of Maine, as ...

This chapter introduces the beginning of Pleistocene vertebrate records, starting from an overview of the latest Pliocene events and the Plio-Pleistocene transition. Understanding the early Pleistocene vertebrate record is impossible without the knowledge of the events characterizing the setting of early Pleistocene land vertebrate communities.

The Pleistocene of Newfoundland
The Journal of Geology, 1926The results of two summers' field work in Newfoundland show that most of the island was glaciated in the Pleistocene, only the southern part of the Long Range of mountains having escaped ice action. Glaciation took place at two periods, one in the early part of the Pleistocene (Kansan or Jerseyan), the other in the Wisconsin.

AbstractThe recent identification of Australian backed artefacts dating to the early Holocene by Hiscock and Attenbrow (1998) opens the way for new explorations into the origin, distribution and use of these implements across Sahul. In particular, it draws attention to the fact that the technology of backed artefact production should not be seen as ...

Pleistocene glaciation in The Netherlands
2004Abstract In the Netherlands and the adjacent part of the North Sea Basin, Early Pleistocene cold conditions are recognised on the basis of pollen and foraminiferal evidence in marine cores and periglacial structures and Scandinavian erratics in exposures on land.

Pleistocene Glaciations in Estonia
2004Abstract Sedimentary evidence of two Pleistocene interglacials – Holsteinian (Karukula) and Eemian (Prangli) and three glacials – Elsterian (Sangaste), Saalian (Ugandi) and Weichselian (Jarva), are present in Estonia. Pleistocene chronostratigraphy is based on 69 sites and sections, studied by means of 14 C, OSL/TL, 10 Be and varved clay chronology

A distinctive aspect of human behaviour is the ability to think symbolically. However, tracking the origin of this capability is controversial. From a Peircean perspective, to know if something truly is a symbol we need to know the cultural context in which it was created. Rather than initially asking if materials are symbols/symbolic, we offer that it

Gelatinized pleistocene collagen
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1973Abstract 1. 1. Treatment of Pleistocene bones from Rancho La Brea with hot water has solubilized most of their collagenous protein. 2. 2. The resulting mixture of polypeptides when hydrolyzed with strong HCl has yielded amino acids in the relative proportions characteristic of pure gelatin and collagen. 3. 3.

Pleistocene and dinosaur gelatins
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1976Abstract 1. 1. Amino acid analyses have been made of the fossil proteins from several dinosaur and two previously studied Pleistocene bones and of peptide mixtures derived from them. 2. 2. More than 90% of the protein of the Pleistocene fossils and 30–60% of that of the dinosaurs was solubilized by heating with water at 110°C. 3. 3.

Archaeological data from Wallacea (Indonesia) and elsewhere are summarized to show that the history of seafaring begins in the Early Pleistocene, and that this human capability eventually led to Middle Palaeolithic ocean crossings in the general region of Australia. To understand better the technological magnitude of these many maritime accomplishments,
