Abstract
Ancient Mongolia is imaged as a country of dinosaurs and other Mesozoic fauna and flora. However already joint Soviet-Mongolian expeditions of the last century have revealed even more interesting palaeontological remains and sedimentological features in the Precambrian and Palaeozoic strata of this country, important for the understanding of the development of the entire Earth. Nowadays, numerous international expeditions are especially interested in the period of 1000–500 Ma that covers a blustery diversification of unicellular eukaryotes, global glaciations, one of the main stage of the phosphate accumulation process, and an establishment of animals with mineral skeletons. More than that, Mongolia of that time was represented not by a single marine basin but rather a number of seas associated with various microcontinents and volcanic arcs, which provides an opportunity to conceive the differences in the succession of these events under different conditions.
