Glaciations in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego during the Ensenadan Stage/Age (Early Pleistocene-earliest Middle Pleistocene)
While the Ensenadan Stage/Age (ca. 2.1 to 0.5 Ma) was characterized by certain mammal associations in the Pampean plains, the Andean ranges of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, their piedmont areas and, in some cases, the adjacent lowlands were undergoing a well-defined alternating sequence of glacial...
