Diachronous development of Great Unconformities before Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth Journal Article uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • SignificanceErosion below the Great Unconformity has been interpreted as a global phenomenon associated with Snowball Earth. Geological relationships and thermochronologic data provide evidence that the bulk of erosion below the Great Unconformity in Colorado occurred prior to Cryogenian glaciation. We suggest that there are multiple, regionally diachronous Great Unconformities that are tectonic in origin.
