Correlation of Paleoproterozoic glaciations based on U–Pb zircon ages for tuff beds in the Transvaal and Huronian Supergroups

The rise in atmospheric oxygen between 2.45 and 2.2 Ga has been linked to the demise of a methane-rich atmosphere and the onset of multiple glaciations, culminating in a possible Snowball Earth. The glacial deposits represent possible global marker horizons, however, their correlation is uncertain b...
