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 …

Neoproterozoic tectonic geography was dominated by the formation of the supercontinent
Rodinia, its break-up and the subsequent amalgamation of Gondwana. The Neoproterozoic …

Abstract After its Ediacaran-Early Cambrian assembly, Gondwana was flanked by a system
of peripheral orogens, Terra Australis, Avalonian-Cadomian and newly defined North Indo …

Uranium–lead ages obtained by LA-ICP-MS analyses of zircon cores from a high-grade
Armorican metasediment from the Mid-German Crystalline Rise, Central Germany, yield …

Prior to participating in Rodinia, the East European Craton (Baltica) had undergone a
complex process of development. Many of the structures, which were important during the …

Gondwanaland lasted from the 650–500 Ma (late Neoproterozoic-Cambrian) amalgamation
of African and South American terranes to Antarctica–Australia–India through 320 Ma (mid …

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 …

Gondwana, though extant for approximately one-half billion years, is now present as
fragments across much of the globe. Following an assembly during the latest Protero zoic …

Abstract West and East Ganderia in the northern Appalachians and Caledonides,
respectively, represent a Gondwanan superterrane situated along the Tornquist margin of …

We present a statistical approach to data mining and quantitatively evaluating detrital age
spectra for sedimentary provenance analyses and palaeogeographic reconstructions …
