Abstract

A late Pre-Cambrian eugeosynclinal stratigraphic sequence in the western part of the Scandinavian mountain chain is established. In the Möre region the succession is about 11 km thick. The wellknown late Pre-Cambrian miogeosynclinal sequence in the eastern part of the chain corresponds to the upper part of the eugeosynclinal sequence.
