Villafranchian : ウィキペディア英語版 | Villafranchian
Villafranchian age is a period of geologic time (3.0—2.0 Ma)〔http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803115849217〕 overlapping the end of the Pliocene and the beginning of the Pleistocene used more specifically with European Land Mammal Ages. Named by Italian geologist Lorenzo Pareto〔Fossil Mammals of Asia: Neogene Biostratigraphy and Chronology, edited by Xiaoming Wang, Lawrence J. Flynn, Mikael Fortelius〕 for a sequence of terrestrial sediments studied near Villafranca d'Asti, a town near Turin,〔http://archaeologywordsmith.com/lookup.php?category=&where=headword&terms=Villafranchian〕 it succeeds the Ruscinian age. A major division of both geological deposits and time, the Villafranchian is significant because the earliest hominids that clearly evolved into modern man (the australopithecines) appeared within it.〔 The Villafranchian is partially contemporaneous with the Blancan Stage of North America.〔 Many animals and their extinct ancestors evolved during the Villafranchian, including the Red fox, Least weasel, Moorhen, Etruscan bear, and Tuscany lion. ==References==
