Relating to the Cromerian, an interglacial period in the Pleistocene era between two major ice ages, roughly 500,000-300,000 years ago.
Named after Cromer, Norfolk, where geological evidence of this warm period was first identified and studied by 19th-century scientists examining ancient clay deposits.
The Cromerian interglacial was so warm that hippopotamuses, elephants, and lions roamed Britain—and scientists named this entire prehistoric period after a small English seaside town because of fossils found in its cliffs!
