Gaskiers glaciation (Glaciology 🗻)

The Gaskiers glaciation is a period of widespread glacial deposits that lasted under 340,000 years, between 579.88 ± 0.44 and 579.63 ± 0.15 million years ago — i.e. late in the Ediacaran Period — making it the last major glacial event of the Precambrian. It was also the last and the shortest of at least three major ice ages in the Neoproterozoic era.
