The Yudomian of Siberia, Vendian and Ediacaran systems of the International stratigraphic scale
@article{Khomentovsky2008TheYO, title={The Yudomian of Siberia, Vendian and Ediacaran systems of the International stratigraphic scale}, author={V. V. Khomentovsky}, journal={Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation}, year={2008}, volume={16}, pages={581-598} }
In Russia, the terminal Neoproterozoic formally includes the Vendian of western part of the East European platform and the concurrent Yudoma Group of Siberia. As is shown in this work, the designated subdivisions correspond in the stratotypes only to the upper, Yudomian Series of the Vendian. In the Siberian platform, the Ust-Yudoma and Aim horizons of the Yudomian are tightly interrelated. The lower of them, bearing remains of Ediacaran Fauna, represents the Ediacarian Stage, whereas the upper…
