Abstract

Recent lithological and geophysical studies of Riphean and Lower Vendian sedimentary rocks in the Kresttsy and Mid-Russian (Soligalich) aulacogens resulted in the recognition of four stages in the evolution of the East European Platform in the Late Proterozoic: (1) late Early Proterozoic–Early Riphean stage (formation of the protoplatform cover); (2) Middle Riphean stage (rifting only at platform margins); (3) late Middle Riphean–initial late Riphean stage (formation of the paleoplatform cover related to the existence of the epi-Grenville Rodinia supercontinent, which united all continents of the Earth at that time); (4) latest Riphean–early Vendian stage (rifting and origination of the Central Russian aulacogen system during the breakup of Rodinia and Cadomian orogeny.
