[f. L. Gothi-a country of the Goths + glacial a.]
Epithet of the second of the three divisions or ‘sub-epochs’ of the Late Glacial epoch in north-western Europe, when the ice-sheet of the last glaciation retreated from the tip of the Scandinavian peninsula across southern Sweden. Also absol. Cf. Daniglacial, Finiglacial adjs.
1910G. De Geer in Geologiska Föreningens i Stockholm Förhandlingar XXXII. 1146 It seems appropriate to designate as gothiglacial that part of the late glacial epoch during which the ice-border receded through Götaland—the old Gothia—from Skåne to the great moraines, crossing its northernmost provinces, Dalsland, Västergötland, and Östergötland. 1912― in Compt. Rend. XI Congr. Géol. Internat. I. 249 Already now I consider it possible to state that we are on the safe side assuming the whole goti-glacial sub-epoch, or the time of the ice⁓recession from the central parts of Skåne past the old Gotia to the Fennoskandian moraines, almost to amount to, but probably not to exceed 3000 years. 1923,1927[see Daniglacial a.]. 1957J.
