Younger Dryas  

Definition

  • Marking the boundary between the Holocene and Pleistocene epochs, the Younger Dryas, a period of glacial conditions between 12,900 and 11,500 years ago, is named for Dryas octopetala, a flower that is adapted to the cold. Dryas's pollen is found in abundance in strata of this age. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Warming & Climate Change; Younger Dryas]
