This educational kit includes Neoproterozoic rock samples taken from Namibia,
East Greenland, and Canada's Mackenzie Mountains. 20 samples encompassing
the most compelling evidence in the Snowball Earth (including tillites and
cap carbonates) debate have been compiled into one, easy-to-use, comprehensive
educational package. The educational suite includes in depth description
cards with color photographs of each sample, stratigraphic sections, and
the precise location of origin for each sample. The kit is designed for use
in college level geoscience laboratories as a tool for educating students
about the Snowball Earth debate and its critical relevance to the scientific
understanding of rapid global change. The rock suite comes in a portable
case along with sample booklets, posters, and guidelines for use. The rock
suite is appropriate for courses in Climate Change, Earth History, Glacial
Geology or Global Change.
You can view the booklet that accompanies the rock suite as a 4Mb pdf here.
