Pleistocene Epoch, earlier and major of the two epochs of the Quaternary Period of Earth’s history, an epoch during which a succession of glacial and interglacial climatic cycles occurred. It ended 11,700 years ago. It was preceded by the Pliocene Epoch and followed by the Holocene Epoch.
Plejstocen (stgr. πλεῖστος 'większość' + καινός 'nowy') w sensie geochronologicznym: starsza epoka czwartorzędu, trwająca ponad 2,5 miliona lat (od 2,58 mln do 11,7 tys. lat b2k).

28 lut 2022 · The Pleistocene epoch lasted from about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago and included the last ice age, when glaciers and giant megafauna dominated the landscape.
Pleistocene Epoch - Ice Age, Climate Change, Extinctions: Environments during the Pleistocene were dynamic and underwent dramatic change in response to cycles of climatic change and the development of large ice sheets.
Pleistocene Epoch, Earlier and longer of the two epochs that constitute the Quaternary Period. The Pleistocene began c. 2.6 million years ago and ended c. 11,700 years ago. It was preceded by the Pliocene Epoch of the Neogene Period and followed by the Holocene Epoch.
16 kwi 2023 · The Ice Age, also known as the Pleistocene Epoch, was a period of geological time that lasted from about 2.6 million years ago to 11,700 years ago. It was characterized by the widespread presence of glaciers and extensive ice sheets covering large portions of the Earth’s surface.
