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.
