Establishing how tectonic plates have moved since deep time is essential for understanding
how Earth's geodynamic system has evolved and operates, thus answering longstanding …

The vast eastern-Tethyan oceanic domain that throughout the Mesozoic extended between
Gondwana and Eurasia was a puzzle of larger and smaller microcontinents separated by …

Abstract The Iapetus Ocean was the first ancient ocean to be identified following the
development of plate tectonics; its history has been fundamental in relating orogenesis and …

The evolving mosaic of tectonic plates across the surface of the Earth sets boundary
conditions for the evolution of biotic and abiotic processes and helps shape the dynamics of …

Baltica, in the core of the supercontinent Nuna, comprises Fennoscandia, Sarmatia and
Volgo-Uralia. We develop a tectonic model of Paleoproterozoic Fennoscandia based on …

When and how the collision between India‐Asia occurred continue to be debated. We report
new paleomagnetic data (Ds= 158.8°, Is= 7.8°, ks= 81.3, α95= 5.1°, N= 11 sites) from …

Abstract The Ediacaran Period was an interval of significant global transformation, marked
by major changes in the biosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, and possibly …

During evolution of the South Sandwich subduction zone, which has consumed South
American Plate oceanic lithosphere, somehow continental crust of both the South American …

Abstract The Ordovician–Silurian transition experienced severe, but enigmatic, glaciation, as
well as a paradoxical combination of mass extinction and species origination. Here we …

A paleogeographic affinity of the south China craton (SCC) with India in the Neoproterozoic
has long been advocated based on lines of geological evidence. However, the lack of …
