The Pleistocene /ËplaÉªstÉµsiËn/ (symbol P. ) is the geological epoch which lasted from about 2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago, spanning the world's recent period of repeated glaciations. Charles Lyell introduced this term in 1839 to describe strata in Sicily that had at least 70% of their molluscan fauna still living today.
For the geological epoch often associated with or referred to as The Ice Age, see Pleistocene. For a generic geological period of reduced temperature and increased glaciation, see Ice age.
