Definition
- Kansan Glacial Stage is a major division of Pleistocene deposits and time in North America (the Pleistocene Epoch began about 2.6 million years ago and ended about 11,700 years ago). The Kansan glaciation followed the Aftonian Interglacial Stage and preceded the Yarmouth Interglacial Stage, both periods of moderate climatic conditions. The Kansan Glacial Stage was named for deposits studied in northeastern Kansas, although more representative and complete deposits exist near Afton, Iowa.
