from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_isotope_stages The following are the start dates (apart from MIS 5 sub-stages) of the most recent MIS (Lisiecki & Raymo 2005, LR04 Benthic Stack). The figures, in thousands of years ago, are from Lisiecki's website.[13] Numbers for substages in MIS 5 denote peaks of substages rather than boundaries. MIS Start date MIS 1 – 14 kya, end of the Younger Dryas marks the start of the Holocene. The LR04 date of 14 kya had to accommodate less well studied time intervals, and the generally accepted date of 11.7 kya is to be preferred.[14] MIS 2 – 29 MIS 3 – 57[a] (MIS 2-4 is called the Last Glacial Period, Wisconsinan glaciation in North America, Weichselian glaciation in northern Europe) MIS 4 – 71 MIS 5 – 130, usually sub-divided into a to e: MIS 5a – 82 (peak of interglacial sub-stage) MIS 5b – 87 (peak of glacial sub-stage) MIS 5c – 96 (peak of interglacial sub-stage) MIS 5d – 109 (peak of glacial sub-stage) MIS 5e – 123 (peak of Eemian interglacial sub-stage, or Ipswichian in Britain) MIS 6 – 191 (Illinoian glacial in North America, Saalian in northern Europe and later Wolstonian in Britain) MIS 7 – 243 (Aveley Interglacial in Britain) MIS 8 – 300 (early Wolstonian in Britain) MIS 9 – 337 (Purfleet Interglacial in Britain)[16] MIS 10 – 374 MIS 11 – 424 (Hoxnian Interglacial in Britain) MIS 12 – 478 (Anglian Glacial in Britain, Elster glaciation in northern Europe) MIS 13 – 524 MIS 14 – 563 MIS 15 – 621 MIS 16 – 676 MIS 17 – 712 MIS 18 – 761 MIS 19 – 790 (Brunhes–Matuyama reversal) MIS 20 – 814 MIS 21 – 866
