3.2 Litho- and Chronostratigraphy of the Palaeoproterozoic Karelian Formations

  • Chapter

Reading the Archive of Earth’s Oxygenation

Part of the book series: Frontiers in Earth Sciences ((FRONTIERS))

Abstract

In Phanerozoic successions, the definition and interbasinal correlation of stratigraphic units is based on palaeontological evidence, generally supported by abundant high-precision radiometric dates. In contrast, Precambrian metasedimentary successions contain few fossils useful for correlation purposes and commonly lack precise geochronological control. This has hampered the development of robust chronostratigraphic frameworks for such successions, and restricted reconstruction of their geological histories. It has also led to the proliferation of many local stratigraphic nomenclatures rife with numerous formal and informal names.
