Origin: From a proper name; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymon: proper name Mindel.

Etymology: < the name of the river Mindel (German Mindel), a tributary of the Danube in Bavaria, Germany, after German Mindel-Vergletscherung ‘Mindel glacier’ (A. Penck 1901, in A. Penck & E. Brückner Die Alpen im Eiszeitalter (1901) I. i. 110).

Geology.

A. adj.

Designating a Pleistocene glaciation in the Alps following the Günz and preceding the Riss, possibly corresponding to the Elsterian of northern Europe; of or relating to this glaciation.

1908 Amer. Anthropologist 10 637 These have been named after four streams of southern Germany in the foothills of the Alps: Günz, Mindel, Riss, and Würm glacial epochs respectively.

1957 G. E. Hutchinson Treat. Limnol. I. i. 6 Relatively early in the Pleistocene, probably at the time of the Mindel glaciation, the Caspian was occupied by a high-level lake.

1964 K. P. Oakley Frameworks for dating Fossil Man i. 109 In China the industry of Peking Man is associated with a fauna which was for long identified as Cromerian, whereas new evidence indicated that it is of Mindel II age.

2006 C. Stringer Homo Britannicus ii. 81 He was able to identify three periods of particularly low solar warmth that might correspond to the Gunz, Mindel and Riss glacials.

B. n.

The Mindel glaciation; the system of deposits laid down at this time.
