Abstract

During 1973 an International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) correlation project dealing with the Precambrian of mobile zones east and west of the North Atlantic began to operate; excursions were conducted in Morocco (1973) and northwestern France ( 1974), and a meeting was held in Paris in January 1974 to discuss problems associated with correlating the areas of Precambrian included. In April 1974, it became a key project of the International Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP), and the Board of IGCP suggested that it take in a similar project (Precambrian Stratigraphy) proposed by the Geological Survey of India. At a constitutional meeting in Paris, November 1974, the organization of the modified project and the rules governing it (statutes) were set up, and a limited programme of future activities agreed upon pending the holding of the first plenary session in Moscow in September 1975. This paper is a brief report of the two Paris meetings and of the scope of the project at the present time.
