title: Latest Proterozoic stratigraphy and Earth history.
abstract: The end of the Proterozoic Eon was a time of pronounced biological, biogeochemical, climatic and tectonic change.  New bio- and chemostratigraphic data provide an improved framework for stratigraphic correlation, making possible a deeper understanding of latest Proterozoic Earth history and providing tools for a chronostratigraphic division of late Proterozoic time.
