Scottish and Irish rocks confirmed as rare record of 'snowball Earth'
https://phys.org/news/2024-08-scottish-irish-rare-snowball-earth.html paper: https://www.lyellcollection.org/doi/full/10.1144/jgs2024-029The Port Askaig Formation was likely laid down between 662 to 720 million years ago during the #SturtianGlaciation—the first of two global freezes thought to have triggered the development of complex, multicellular life. One exposed outcrop of the formation is unique as it shows the transition into #SnowballEarth from a previously warm, tropical environment.
