A fact from Marinoan glaciation appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 June 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that the Marinoan glaciation was one of the three Neoproterozoic glaciations that caused the Snowball Earth? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/June.

New paper indicates the causation for the end of the glaciation is in doubt: T. F. Bristow, et. al LeoBC (talk) 21:48, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then write it. But remember, we don't give undue weight to the most recent article published. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 22:23, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was volcanic CO₂ that ended the glaciation. -- cheers, Michael C. Price ^talk 22:48, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On this page: Of these glaciations, the Marinoan was the most significant, whereas the Sturtian glaciation was a shorter, but still worldwide glaciation.

On Sturtian page:

the Sturtian glaciation being the longest one, lasting about 60 million years.
