The problem here is the 250 million year date ~ not a primordial soup ~ that'd been 3.5 billion years further in the past.

The dating of this overlaps some of the deepest layers in the Antarctic Ice Sheet overlying the Gamburtsev mountains.

The Gamburtsev's are 2.5 miles deep, are older than the Alps, yet show no signs of wear. They date back to the Carbonoferous Age ~ which is WAY back there.

So, too much CO2 led to what? Did Earth get warm and everything died? We might ask why that ice didn't melt.

Personally I think it is a 'dating' problem. I do not doubt the find. I do not believe in the truncated events over impossible to prove eons of years. I believe there was one 'time-frame' over a consecutive span of time that caused this earth to become waste.
