Scientists find evidence of thick ice sheets that likely formed over Colorado .

Evidence of ice in Colorado dating back 661 million years supports the Snowball Earth hypothesis.

Scientists believe that ice sheets possibly surrounded the entire planet, even at the equator.

The findings also have implications for understanding the history of life on Earth .

The researchers' results support that a Great Unconformity near Pikes Peak must have been formed prior to Cryogenian Snowball Earth .

The study sheds light on a critical phase in Earth 's geologic history and deepens the mystery of where and how life survives during extreme climate events.
