Abstract:

AbstractFor much of Precambrian time, it is not possible to reconstruct any sort of meaningful palaeogeographies. For this Atlas, therefore, the earliest reconstructions are for Proterozoic intervals and are, of necessity, limited geographically.The term 'Torridonian' has long since been used to refer to the entire Upper Proterozoic succession of predominantly fluvial clastic sediments situated along the northwest coast of Scotland. These rocks rest unconformably on Archaean to Lower Proterozoic Lewisian Gneiss, are overlain unconformably by Cambro-Ordovician marine sediments, and constitute t

Abstract:

The Kansas Basement Rocks Committee is actively collecting data pertaining to Precambrian rocks of Kansas. An additional 84 wells known to encounter the Precambrian bring the total number of known Precambrian tests in Kansas to about 2,200 as of December 31, 1961. A generalized configuration map of the surface of Precambrian rocks shows major post-Mississippian structural features in the state. Potassium-argon age dates for five samples range from 1165 to 1460 million years.

They have to be separately approved by two relevant subsections of the Lower Precambrian section NSC of Ukraine. Also, the role of intrusive and ultrametamorphic formations in determining of the stratum position in the stratigraphic scheme should be taken into account.

Abstract:

The paper is a cautionary note to all Precambrian palaeobiologists, using palaeopalynological techniques for the extraction of microfossils from Precambrian sediments. It deals with problems of contamination in palaeopalynological preparations. The effect of mineralic acids (HCI and HF) on some common cyanobacteria, viz., Microcystis, Nostoc, Oscillatoria, Lyngbya and Scytonema, has been discussed. It has been shown that the extant cyanobacteria after treatment with these mineralic acids show morphological similarities with many Precambrian microfossils. Therefore, there is a need to exercise

Abstract:

It has become rather widely accepted in recent years that (1) during the geologic past, the Earth's atmosphere evolved from an initial “oxygen deficient” to a later “oxygen-rich” state; that (2) this change was a result chiefly of the cumulative effects of O2-producing “green plant-type” (including cyanobacterial) photosynthesis; and that (3) the transition occurred during the Precambrian, with stable oxygenic conditions having probably become established during the Early Proterozoic (viz., 2.5 to 1.7 Ga). Lines of evidence in support of these suppositions have been drawn from paleobiology, ge

Abstract:

The Precambrian–Paleozoic boundary in the subsurface of southwestern Ontario commonly is characterized by secondary K-feldspar. In the weathered and altered Precambrian granitoid gneisses at the unconformity, secondary K-feldspar has replaced preexisting minerals, and also occurs as discrete crystals of adularia, overgrowths on altered minerals, and microcrystalline veinlets. The K-feldspar is chemically pure (Or99–100) and has high δ18O values (+18.9 to +21.4‰ Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water), features that indicate crystallization at low temperatures. Secondary K-feldspar also occurs in Cam

But only with respect to the two polymetamorphic complexes located on the western slope of the Southern Urals: the Taratash and Aleksandrov, their indisputable belonging to the Archean-Paleoproterozoic section is recognized. They are framed by weakly metamorphosed Lower Riphean sediments and reliable geochronological data are obtained from them, which unambiguously indicate the Early Precambrian age of rock metamorphism.

Criteria that have been most useful in identifying Precambrian paleosols in Canada include macrostructures (ascending protolith disruption, saprolith, and corestones), micromorphology (sepic texture and peds), mineralogical changes (dissolution, transformation), geochemical signatures (as

Abstract:

Although Precambrian landscapes have been regarded as barren as the surface of Mars, increasingly close inspection of fossil soils (palaeosols) is revealing a variety of fossils, comparable with those already documented in Cambrian to Ordovician (542–444 Ma) palaeosols. The biggest surprise was that some Ediacaran (550 Ma) fossils of South Australia grew in soils. Different kinds of palaeosols can be used to define Ediacaran terrestrial communities in Australia (550 Ma) and Newfoundland (565 Ma). Simple discoids such as Aspidella dominate communities of intertidal sulfidic palaeosols, whereas

The informal stratigraphic term "Precambrian" is replaced by formal nomenclature--Proterozoic and Archean Eonothems/Eons--and the informal term Hadean. The Phanerozoic Eonothem/Eon, representing all rocks younger than the Proterozoic, is added. The Proterozoic is further divided into Paleoproterozoic, Mesoproterozoic, and Neoproterozoic Erathems/Eras. The name Rice Formation (Scott, 1966) is abandoned, and the use of the informal term "Rice unit" is recommended. The proposed name Rice Series (Berendsen, 1994) is not accepted. These changes are adopted by the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) and
