Paleontology and Stratigraphy of Fossils

Following an outline of Brioverian stratigraphy (see part 1 for explanation of the term) in western Finistère (France), a detailed account is given of a polyphase Cadomian orogeny involving two periods of major folding and a regional metamorphism. A brief comment on Palaeozoic sedimentation and the influence of the Brioverian basement at this time leads on to an analysis of the different responses of Palaeozoic and Brioverian rocks to the Variscan deformation.
