Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth extent inferred from paleosols in California
Gelisol paleosols with sand wedges and sorted stone stripes are reported from the early Cryogenian (717–659 Ma), Surprise Diamictite Member and Sourdough Limestone Member of the Kingston Peak Formation in Redlands Canyon, western Panamint Range, California. The Surprise Diamictite was thus not entirely marine, although glaciomarine sediments and tectonically induced, mass wasting deposits, may be present in other parts of the Kingston Peak Formation. Sand wedge and stone stripe paleosols are evidence of local ice–free land with frigid continental climate at paleolatitude as low as 8 ± 4º from paleomagnetic studies of the Surprise Diamictite. The Sturt glaciation was a dramatic global cooling, but not a global snowball. Bare ground of landslides, alluvial fans, till and loess with mineral nutrients, and microtopographic shelter for complex life on land would have been important for survival of life on Earth from glacial destruction.
