Recent progress in plate tectonic reconstructions has seen models move beyond the
classical idea of continental drift by attempting to reconstruct the full evolving configuration of …

Gondwana was consolidated in the late Cambrian after 180 myr of tectonic convergence
among Neoproterozoic paleocontinents and smaller fragments. We present a compilation of …

Abstract The late Neoproterozoic–Cambrian interval is characterized by global-scale
orogenesis, rapid continental growth and profound changes in Earth systems. Orogenic …

Abstract The Cariris Velhos Belt is an unique domain of the Borborema Province, Brazil,
because it presents magmatic and metamorphic lithotectonic associations spanning all the …

Madagascar is a key area for unraveling the geodynamic evolution of the transition between
the Rodinia and Gondwana supercontinents as it contains several suites of c. 850–700 Ma …

The origin and evolution of the Precambrian North Lhasa Terrane in the central Tibetan
Plateau remain enigmatic. Here we present U single bond Pb age and Hf isotopic data for …

The Neoproterozoic tectonic evolution of central Gondwana involved three successive
continental collisions, associated with the East African Orogeny (late Cryogenian), the …

Abstract The Neoproterozoic geology of East Africa records the events leading up to the
formation of Gondwana and subsequently Pangea, and hence understanding the …

Southern and western Madagascar is comprised of five tectonic provinces that, from
northeast to southwest, are defined by the:(i) Ikalamavony,(ii) Anosyen,(iii) Androyen,(iv) …

Madagascar occupied an important place in the amalgamation of Gondwana and preserves
a record of several Neoproterozoic events that are linked to orogenesis of the East African …
