U/Pb zircon age constraints for the rift-related volcanic flows suggest initial emplacement around 571 million years ago. Application of the Catoctin age to the Fauquier succession indicates the occurrence of an ice age about 10 million years younger than the 582 Ma Gaskiers event, supporting the...
In accordance with the stratigraphic position of this recently discovered diamictite horizon, we suggest it represents a glacial event within the Ediacaran Period, probably related to the Gaskiers Glaciation with an age of approximately 580 Ma (Bowring et al., 2003; Knoll et al., 2004)....
