Evidence suggesting that earth had a ring in the Ordovician
Earth may have had a ring during the middle Ordovician, from ca. 466 Ma.
Breakup of an asteroid passing within Earth's Roche limit likely formed the ring.
Among several features preserved is a near-equatorial band of impact craters.
Shading of Earth by the ring may have triggered a global icehouse period.
