On the Pre-Cambrian Stratigraphy of Eastern Asia

동아(東亞)의 선(先)캠브리아계(系)의 층서(層序)에 관(關)하여

Summarizing the past and recent data on pre-Cambrian System in Eastern Asia, it can be concluded that the pre-Cambrian System are composed of the sediments of having four cycles of sedimentation. It is also known that most of pre-Cambrian Systems known so far belong to either one of transgression facies or regression facies in the four sedimentation cycles. The pre-Cambrian Systems can be divided into four stages, that is, Sinian, Hutoan, Liahoan, and Taishanian stage. It is supposed that all pre-Cambrian Systems in Korea will belong to one of these four cycle sedimentations. Therefore, the reasonable way of study of Korean pre-Cambrian Systems is to investigate which stage they belong to.
