"Scientists Locate Missing Piece of Earth's Crust"

TL;DR Summary
Scientists have discovered that a large chunk of the Earth's crust, missing from the geological record and known as "The Great Unconformity," was likely eroded by glaciers during the "Snowball Earth" period. This severe glacial erosion stripped away 3-5 kilometers of rock, which was then washed out to sea, explaining the sharp age changes in rocks observed globally.
