New evidence suggests that the Marinoan Ice Age, one of the most severe ice ages in Earth’s history, may not have entirely frozen the planet as previously thought. Instead, it was more of a “Slushball Earth,” with patches of open water supporting life in the shallow mid-latitude seas.

“Slushball” Earth: New Evidence Rewrites Ice Age History
Geologists have uncovered evidence suggesting that the planet did not experience complete glaciation during the ice age that occurred 635 million years ago. Earth has undergone at least five ice ages, one of which occurred 635 million years ago, resulting in glaciers spanning from one pole to the o
