Summary. The available data on radiometric dating of Riphean and Vendian deposits in the European part of the U.S.S.R. enabled us to establish the age of geochronological boundaries. The Riphean lower boundary was adopted as 1650 ± 50 Ma, the Vendian lower boundary as 650 ± 10 Ma, and the Cambrian lower boundary as 590 ± 10 Ma, making the total length of the Riphean about 1000 Ma and that of the Vendian about 60 Ma. This paper suggests a draft of the geochronological scale of the Late Precambrian.
