“…The extent and uniqueness of Marinoan cap dolostones was first appreciated in Australia (Dunn et al 1971;Rankama 1973) and the presence of barite in cap dolostones was first recognized in West Africa (Deynoux & Trompette 1976). The smooth and abrupt, yet conformable, contact between glaciogenic and related detritus and cap dolostones is so distinctive and widespread that it was selected as the basis of the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the Ediacaran Period (Knoll et al 2006 …”

“…Many of the Late Proterozoic Basin glacial sequences described from various regions of the world were deposited marginally to cratonic As emphasized by Nystuen (1989, with reference to platforms in basins that were later involved in orogenic Late Proterozoic examples in Scandinavia, the pres-events. The Late Proterozoic glacial and related ervation potential of glacial deposits on a stable deposits of the west African cratonic platform appear 531 exceptional in being undeformed and unmetamorphosed (Trompette, 1973 ;Trompette, 1976, 1981;Deynoux, 1980Deynoux, , 1982Deynoux, , 1985. These deposits occur in the Taoudeni Basin, one of the largest intra-cratonic basins in Africa.…”

“…Early work on these enigmatic low-latitude glaciations focused on identifying and describing the glacial deposits around the world (Spencer 1971;Deynoux and Trompette 1976;Hambrey and Harland 1981;Deynoux 1985;Lemon and Gostin 1990). However, this focus on the glacial deposits led to different interpretations and some workers proposed a debris flow origin for the conglomeratic beds (Schermerhorn 1974;Eyles 1993;Arnaud and Eyles 2006).…”
