The base of the Pleistocene Series is defined formally in a stratotype section at Vrica, Calabria, southern Italy. Biostratigraphic criteria for correlating the boundary level are well supported by magnetostratigraphic and geochronologic data. -Authors

... The Wolf event played a special role in Quaternary large mammal biochronology, especially in western Europe ( Fig. 1), given the approximate coincidence between this event (in its original formulation) and the formerly adopted Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary at ~1.8 Ma (i.e., prior to the placement of the Pleistocene Epoch/Series at ~2. 6 Ma, in 2009;Aguirre & Pasini, 1985;Pillans, 2004;Clague, 2006;Head & Gibbard, 2015;Capraro & Maiorano, 2023). ...

... The Pleistocene was first introduced by Charles Lyell as a substitute for his Newer Pliocene (Lyell, 1839, p. 621) although he did not embrace the term formally until 1873 (Lyell, 1873, p. 3-5;Head and Gibbard, 2015a). Only in 1985 was the Pleistocene formally defined as a series/epoch by a Global boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) at Vrica, Calabria, Italy (Aguirre and Pasini, 1985). Its base was subsequently lowered in 2009 to coincide with that of the Gelasian Stage/Age and Quaternary System/Period, defined by a GSSP at Monte San Nicola in Sicily, Italy, currently dated at 2.58 Ma (Gibbard and Head, 2010). ...
