Springer The Vendian System: Vol.2 Regional Geology

Vendian System summarizes the results of detailed studies carried out over 30 years at the Precambrian-Phanerozoic boundary of the Russian platform and adjacent areas. The paleontological material collected in some of the world's richest localities is unique. The reader will find a wealth of information on paleontological data as well as on stratigraphic and regional correlations, vital for the understanding of organic evolution around 600 million years ago. Volume 2 describes the regional geological background and gives a general interpretation. Volume 1 contains the systematic description and documentation of the paleontological data. In diesem zweibändigen Werk werden die paläontologischen und regionalgeologischen Ergebnisse der letzten 30 Jahre zusammengefaßt, die bei der Untersuchung der Grenze Präkambrium/Phanerozoikum in mehreren Gebieten der Sowjetunion erzielt wurden.
