Early timing of remanence in haematite of the Neoproterozoic Elatina formation, Adelaide geosyncline: Confirmation of the low palaeolatitude of Neoproterozoic glaciation

Abstract

We discuss the evidence for frigid, strongly seasonal climates near sea level which preferentially existed in low palaeolatitudes during the Neoproterozoic. The Neoproterozoic glacialperiglacial palaeoclimate is one of the major paradoxes in contemporary earth science.
