_Scandinavia_.--Here the Cambrian system is only distinguished clearly
on the eastern side, where the three subdivisions are found in a thin
series of strata (400 ft.), in which black concretion-bearing shales
play an important part. Limestones and shales with the _Euloma-Niobe_
fauna come at the top. The upper series (_Olenus_) has been minutely
zoned by W.C. Brogger, S.A. Tullberg and J.C. Moberg. In the middle
series (_Paradoxides_) three thin limestone bands have been
distinguished, the Fragmenten-Kalk, the Exulans-Kalk and the
Andrarums-Kalk.
On the Norwegian side the Cambrian is perhaps represented by the Roros
schists which lie at the base of a great series of crystalline
schists, the probable equivalent of Ordovician and Silurian rocks.
_Baltic Province._--The Cambrian rocks in this region are nearly all
soft sediments, some 600 ft. thick; they reach from the Gulf of
Finland towards
