Origin of the Rheic Ocean: Rifting along a Neoproterozoic suture?
Abstract The Rheic Ocean is widely believed to have formed in the Late Cambrian–Early

Neoproterozoic—Early Paleozoic evolution of peri-Gondwanan terranes: implications for Laurentia-Gondwana connections
Neoproterozoic tectonics is dominated by the amalgamation of the supercontinent Rodinia
