Line 1:
The '''Sangamonian Stage''', (or '''Sangamon interglacial''') is the term used in [[North America]] to designate the last [[interglacial]]. In its most common usage, it is used for the period of time between 75,000 and 125,000 [[Before Present|BP]].<ref name="HanselOthersIP"/><ref name="WillmanOthers1970">Willman, H.B., and J.C. Frye, 1970, ''Pleistocene Stratigraphy of Illinois.'' Bulletin no. 94, Illinois State Geological Survey, Champaign, Illinois.</ref> This period of time is equivalent all of [[Marine isotope stage|Marine Isotope Stage]] 5 and the combined [[Eemian]] period and early part of the [[Weichselian glaciation]] in Europe. Less commonly, the Sangamonian Stage is restricted to the period between 122,000 and 132,000 BP, which is equivalent to Marine Oxygen Isotope Substage 5e and the Eemian period of Europe.<ref name="RichmondOther1"/> It preceded the [[last glacial maximum|Wisconsinan (Wisconsin) Stage]] and followed the [[Illinoian (stage)|Illinoian Stage]] in [[North America]].<ref name="McKayOthers3"/>
