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 …

The earliest Cambrian record of animals and ocean geochemical change
The Cambrian diversification of animals was long thought to have begun with an explosive
phase at the start of the Tommotian Age. Recent stratigraphic discoveries, however, suggest …

Metacraton: nature, genesis and behavior
In this paper, we show with examples that cratons involved in intercontinental collisions in a
lower plate position are often affected by orogenic events, leading to the transformation of …
