OP‐21The manifestation of this geochemically enriched magmatism was correlated with thefirst finds of eucaryotic heterotrophic organisms at ~ 2 Ga, for example in the black shalesand phosphorites of the Paleoproterozoic Pechenga complex, Kola Peninsula [7]. Forinstance, a significant increase in amount of spheromorphides and remains of filamentousalgae is observed in the Upper Jatulian deposits (~ 2.0 Ga) of Karelia [1]. The vital activity ofthe organisms significantly increased the oxygen content in atmosphere, which was markedby the formation of cupriferous red beds at all Precambrian shields, generation of the firsthydrocarbon deposits (shungites, Karelian craton), rock‐salt in Karelia [6], and phosphoriteswith age of 2.06 Ga on the Indian and Kola cratons [4].Thus, a fundamental change in character of tectonomagmatic activity acted as thetrigger for environmental changes and acceleration of biospheric evolution, supplying aqualitatively new material on the Earth’s surface. This event gave impetus to wide expansionof biosphere, which fixed by appearance of oxidative atmosphere, and enhanced biospheremass as demonstrated by appearance of hydrocarbon deposits. However, rapid enhanced ofthe bulk of biosphere did not accompanied by the same increasing of the biodiversity; newforms (especially multicellular organism) appeared in small quantity and long time did notessential evolved.Acknowledgements.
