Biber glaciation
The Biber glaciation ((ドイツ語:Biber-Kaltzeit)), Biber Glacial (''Biber-Glazial''), Biber Complex (''Biber-Komplex'') or Biber Ice Age (''Biber-Eiszeit'') is the oldest glacial period of the Pleistocene epoch. It is not part of the traditional four-stage glaciation schema of the Alps by Albrecht Penck and Eduard Brückner, but was named after the Biberbach river north of Augsburg in 1953 by Ingo Schaefer, based on the naming system of the traditional Penck schema. Its type region is the ''Stauden Plateau'' in the Iller-Lech Plateaux and the Staufenberg Gravel Terrace in the area of Aindling. The Biber glaciation is followed by the Biber-Danube interglacial.
== Classification ==
In 1953, Schaefer defined the Biber glaciation from gravel landforms of the Stauden Plateau in the area of the Iller-Lech Plateau and in the Aindling terrace sequence, by grouping together the so-called Middle and Upper Cover Gravels or ''Deckenschotter''. This corresponded to the Staufenberg Gravel Terrace on the Iller-Lech Plateau, identified in 1974 by Scheunenpflug, and the so-called High Gravels (''Hochschottern'') of the Aindling region. The rich crystalline sedimentary facies (''Kristallinreiche Liegendfazies''), that Löscher distinguished in 1976 in the area of the Rhine Glacier of the western Riß-Iller Plateau may also be paralleled with these glacial landforms. The gravels in the Iller-Lech region ascribed to the Biber glaciation are generally heavily weathered and originate from the Northern Limestone Alps. Löscher's ''Kristallinreiche Liegendfazies'', by contrast, originates from the bedrock of the molasse zone.
Any connexion with the glacial classification of North Germany and the Netherlands is problematic. The Biber glacial correlates either to the Eburonian complex or the Pre-Tiglian complex in the Netherlands. In the former case it would correspond to MIS 56 to 62, which would place it in the period between 1.6 and 1.8 million years ago, in the latter case it would roughly correspond to MIS 96 to 100, and would therefore have taken place about 2.4 to 2.588 million years ago. The correlation is fraught with problems however due to the fact that the corresponding depositions in the Netherlands were probably not governed by climatic changes. Similar doubts on climatic grounds for the depositions assessed as Biber-related also exist in the Alpine region. It is possible that there were tectonic influences perhaps in the wake of the uplift phases of the Alps. The succession and appearance of the gravel bodies makes it possible that during their formation there were several periods of alternating fluvial erosion and accumulation.
The Biber cold period at least corresponds partly with the Swiss cover gravel glaciations (''Deckenschotter-Vergletscherungen'').
