Geochronological constraints on the Trinity diamictite in Newfoundland : Implications for Ediacaran glaciation
… terrane in Newfoundland includes the Ediacaran Gaskiers Formation, which has been associated with a Snowball glaciation event. The complicated regional stratigraphy and lack of precise geochronological constraints has made it difficult to determine the spatial and temporal extent of the Gaskiers …
