The Precambrian period represents some 85 percent of the Earth's evolution, during which time the early crust became stabilized and the development of sedimentary sequences began. Basic magmatism was the dominating process during this period, providing a key link between planetary accretion and lithospheric development. This volume provides an overview of the subject, discussing the worldwide distribution and occurrence of rock types, their geochemical and mineralogical characteristics, and their relationship to mineralization and to lunar magmatism.
