Towards Stage Subdivision of the Vendian

Russian Geology and Geophysics, 2023
Abstract —The way towards the stage subdivision of the Vendian starts with the assemblage of a complete composite geological section of this interval of the Earth’s history, a succession of geological bodies each reflecting a certain ecosystem state.

Vendian Hydrogeochemistry of the Siberian Platform

Russian Geology and Geophysics, 2021
Abstract —The Vendian deposits of the Siberian Platform are represented by four regional horizons (from bottom to top): Nepa, Vilyuchan, Tira, and Danilovka. The TDS of brines in the Nepa and Vilyuchan horizons varies from 170.3 to 470.1 g/L, and the TDS in the overlying Tira and Danilovka horizons, from 84.6 to 583.1 g/L.

Late Precambrian Dolomites, Vendian Glaciation, and Synchroneity of Vendian Glaciations

The Journal of Geology, 1976
The late Precambrian Vendian Glaciation may have been triggered by a worldwide fall of temperature following the locking up of carbon dioxide in Upper Riphean Dolomites. In this "anti-greenhouse" mechanism, the Vendian case appears to differ from Gondwana and Pleistocene events which are restricted to the poles and not worldwide in extent.

Chapter 12 Pre-Vendian history

Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 1997
It so happens that rocks of Vendian age are extensive and are well exposed in Svalbard. This applies especially to early Vendian, i.e. Varanger, with two distinctive glacial horizons as are treated in the Chapter 13. The Early Varanger (Smalfjord) episode can be correlated in most sections and so provides a reference horizon which serves approximately ...

Chapter 13 Vendian History

Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 1997
The Vendian Period, the latest Precambrian division, and the earliest division in which several Phanerozoic methods of correlation can be applied, is a convenient time division for Svalbard. It is separated from the earlier history in which correlation has uncertainties of tens of millions of years if not more.

Riphean and Vendian of the USSR

Precambrian Research, 1981
Abstract The Upper Proterozoic of the U.S.S.R. is subdivided into two chronostratigraphic units according to the officially-adopted stratigraphic scale: the Riphean, 1650 ± 50−650 ± Ma, comprising four subordinate subdivisions; and the Vendian, 650 ± Ma—Cambrian.

Small Vendian transversely Articulated fossils

Paleontological Journal, 2007
Three new genera of transversely articulated Metazoa are described from the Upper Vendian of the Arkhangelsk Region (Russia). Tamga gen. nov. and Lossinia gen. nov. are recognized to be closely related to the extinct Precambrian phylum Proarticulata; Ivovicia gen. nov. is considered as a true member of Proarticulata; all of the new genera are monotypic.

Global climates of the Vendian

Russian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2003
The global climate of the Vendian has been the subject of considerable debate. In view of the diculties of stratigraphic correlations, the absence of reliably reconstructed positions of continents, the scarcity of climate indicators, and the fact that Vendian outcrop areas are widely separated, it is so far possible to identify only the most general ...
