Geological Survey, 1972 The scheme of subdivisions has been devised simply to facilitate depiction and analysis of the Precambrian history of the United States. The time boundaries have been chosen so as to split as few of the known epochs of sedimentation, orogeny, and plutonism as possible. The boundaries do not correspond intentionally to geo logic events. The scheme is intended as an interim measure, pend ing development of an internationally accepted standard.
