A major division of Pleistocene time and deposits in the Alpine region of Europe and one of the divisions of the geological system that recognized the number of Pleistocene glaciations. The Günz-Mindel Interglacial preceded the Mindel Glacial Stage and followed the Günz Glacial Stage and was a time of relatively moderate climatic conditions between two periods of glacial advance. The Günz-Mindel Interglacial is correlated with the Cromerian Interglacial Stage of northern Europe and the series of interglacials recognized in Britain: the Pastonian (oldest), Beestonian, and Cromerian. The Günz-Mindel Interglacial is also broadly equivalent to the Aftonian Interglacial Stage of North America.
