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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

Dating the closure of the Paleo‐Asian Ocean (PAO) is critical to our understanding of East
Asian tectonics during the formation of Pangea, yet existing estimates differ by up to 130 Myr …

In the paleogeographic configuration of the Neoproterozoic supercontinent of Rodinia, the
Tarim craton (northwestern China), traditionally seen as a single block, is placed either on …
