The book deals with the record of important Neoproterozoic to Early
Palaeozoic events in southwestern Gondwana, that heralded the
Cambrian explosion and the dawn of modern ecosystems. It contains a
detailed account of the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian geological
record in a poorly-known part of the world, which is at the same
time key to understand fundamental processes at the
Proterozoic-Cambrian transition. The emphasis is placed on litho-,
bio-, chemostratigraphy and magmatism. The palaeoclimatic,
tectonic, evolutionary radiation and extinction events and
associated mineralizations will be identified and discussed. A
synthesis of all data is provided at the end of the book,
integrating the data from all cratons and fold belts in
southwestern Gondwana. The events will be individualized, their
impact discussed and correlations between different successions
both within and outside Gondwana proposed.
