What’s your favorite Rock?

The Gowganda formation found in Ontario, Canada. It’s a conglomerate from the Huronian Glaciation, which was the world’s oldest and longest ice age, kicking off right after the Great Oxygenation Event (About 2.5 Billion years ago). It was a Snowball Earth episode, with Paleomag suggesting the Gowganda was formed 11° to 4° from the Equator. Expect a page soon-ish about the Huronian Glaciation.
