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 …

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 …

Geochronology of Neoproterozoic syn-rift magmatism in the Yangtze Craton, South China and correlations with other continents: evidence for a mantle superplume …
Neoproterozoic granitic intrusions in South China have traditionally been interpreted as
related to orogenesis, marking the cratonisation of the Yangtze Block. However, a number of …

Global record of 1600–700 Ma Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs): implications for the reconstruction of the proposed Nuna (Columbia) and Rodinia supercontinents
Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are commonly associated with breakup of continents, and
therefore, are a critical source of information to constrain paleocontinental reconstructions …

A review of Wilson Cycle plate margins: A role for mantle plumes in continental break-up along sutures?
Abstract The Wilson Cycle theory that oceans close and reopen along the former suture is a
fundamental concept in plate tectonics. It was named after J. Tuzo Wilson who recognised …
