Scientists Reveal The 1 Billion-Year Gap In Earth’s Lost History


For decades, scientists have struggled to explain a huge gap in the Earth's geological sequence, a lost chapter in a billion-year gap. This enigmatic void, commonly known as the “Great Unconformity has resulted in researchers scrambling to find answers to the question of what erased so much of the history. New research is finally giving insight and is starting to point towards the influence of huge natural forces that sculpted the planet long before complex life occurred.
