Extending full-plate tectonic models into deep time: Linking the Neoproterozoic and the Phanerozoic
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Linking collisional and accretionary orogens during Rodinia assembly and breakup: Implications for models of supercontinent cycles
Periodic assembly and dispersal of continental fragments has been a characteristic of the
solid Earth for much of its history. Geodynamic drivers of this cyclic activity are inferred to be …

Assembly and breakup of the core of Paleoproterozoic–Mesoproterozoic supercontinent Nuna
Idealized conceptual models of supercontinent cyclicity must be tested against the geologic
record using pre-Pangean reconstructions. We integrate tectonostratigraphic records and …

Reconstructing pre-Pangean supercontinents
DAD Evans - Bulletin, 2013 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Twenty-five years ago, initial plans for reconstructing the Rodinia supercontinent were being
drafted, based on the growing recognition of correlatable mid-Neoproterozoic (0.8–0.7 Ga) …
