Wolverine in Northern England at About 83,000 yr B.P.: Faunal Evidence for Climatic Change during Isotope Stage 5

Cave sediments from Stump Cross Cave in northern England contain Pleistocene mammal remains. Uranium-series dating of calcium carbonate deposits closely associated with the fossiliferous horizons has established an absolute age of 83,000 ± 6000 yr B.P. for a faunal assemblage largely comprised of wo...
