Cromer Forest Bed

(Also called Cromerium or Kromer - interglacial warm period or Cromer ) Cromer complex is a warm period in the Middle Pleistocene. It is named after the town of Cromer in East Anglia, where the traces of this warm period were first found.

In contrast to the findings in the UK, Cromer interglacial period is in Central Europe is as Cromer complex, which is divided into three ice ages and four interglacial periods.

In Central Europe the Cromer complex began about 850,000 years ago and ended about 475,000 years ago. The Cromerium complex precedes the Bavelium, it follows the Elster glaciation.

Suggestions for structuring the Cromerium complex have become quite confusing. Great potential for a full breakdown provides the long continental sequence of Gorleben. A significant fossil site with animal remains of Cromer complex are the Mosbach Sands, named after a former village near Wiesbaden. These fossils are about 600,000 years old.
