The supercontinent cycle
Supercontinents signify self-organization in plate tectonics. Over the past~ 2 billion years,
three major supercontinents have been identified, with increasing age: Pangaea, Rodinia …

A full-plate global reconstruction of the Neoproterozoic
Neoproterozoic tectonic geography was dominated by the formation of the supercontinent
Rodinia, its break-up and the subsequent amalgamation of Gondwana. The Neoproterozoic …

[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 …

The Columbia supercontinent revisited
Just over 15 years ago, a proposal forwarded by Rogers and Santosh (2002) posited the
existence of a pre-Rodinia supercontinent which they called Columbia. The conjecture …

Assembly, configuration, and break-up history of Rodinia: a synthesis
This paper presents a brief synthesis of the current state of knowledge on the formation and
break-up of the early-Neoproterozoic supercontinent Rodinia, and the subsequent assembly …

Mesoproterozoic paleogeography: Supercontinent and beyond
A set of global paleogeographic reconstructions for the 1770–1270 Ma time interval is
presented here through a compilation of reliable paleomagnetic data (at the 2009 Nordic …

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) …
