Geology

An interstadial (a warmer period during a glaciation) dated 15,000 BC - penultimate interstadial of the Würm glaciation - was identified in Vigo Park and bears its name. Its European equivalent was determined by paleopalynology pioneer Arlette Leroi-Gourhan who named it "interstade de Lascaux" after the famous Lascaux cave where she first found its traces - she later also found it in the Lagopede shelter, one of the caves in Arcy-sur-Cure; and corroborating studies determined it wherever the corresponding archaeological layers allowed for analysis.[3]

gollark: So they have a thing where "new student" cards can just have arbitrary student numbers written to them, or what?
gollark: I don't know why you would make it so that you could just directly write on the student number.
gollark: The low-frequency ones just ship with a presumably-random unique ID number; if you just had a list of which ID numbers each student owned, then it would be somewhat more secure since at least you would have to *copy* their card or something.
gollark: From my vague knowledge of how NFC cards work, they would have had to go to *some effort* to make it insecure like that.
gollark: What a flawless and highly secure system.
