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 …

Multiple Tethyan ocean basins and orogenic belts in Asia
I Metcalfe - Gondwana Research, 2021 - Elsevier
Four Tethyan ocean basins are recognised in Asia, the Proto-Tethys (Late Proterozoic-

Geological reconstructions of the East Asian blocks: From the breakup of Rodinia to the assembly of Pangea
Pangea is the youngest supercontinent in Earth's history and its main body formed by
assembly of Gondwana and Laurasia about 300–250 Ma ago. As supported by voluminous …

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 …

Tectonic evolution and geodynamics of the Neo-Tethys Ocean
Abstract The Neo-Tethys Ocean was an eastward-ga** triangular oceanic embayment

Paleomagnetic constraints on the paleogeography of the East Asian blocks during Late Paleozoic and Early Mesozoic times
Although the axial and dominant geocentric character of the Earth's magnetic field means
that paleolongitude is indeterminate, paleomagnetism is otherwise the only truly quantitative …
