A Paleo-Mesoproterozoic supercontinent: assembly, growth and breakup
G Zhao, M Sun, SA Wilde, S Li - Earth-Science Reviews, 2004 - Elsevier
Geological and paleomagnetic data support the hypothesis that a Paleo-Mesoproterozoic
supercontinent, referred to as Columbia, existed before the formation of Rodinia. This pre …

[HTML][HTML] Linking collisional and accretionary orogens during Rodinia assembly and breakup: Implications for models of supercontinent cycles
Periodic assembly and dispersal of continental fragments has been a characteristic of the
solid Earth for much of its history. Geodynamic drivers of this cyclic activity are inferred to be …

Long-lived (1.8–1.0 Ga) convergent orogen in southern Laurentia, its extensions to Australia and Baltica, and implications for refining Rodinia
Between 1.8 and 1.0 Ga (Grenville-age), a series of subparallel accretionary orogens were
added progressively to the southern edge of Laurentia. These belts now extend from …

Large mafic magmatic events through time and links to mantle-plume heads
RE Ernst, KL Buchan - 2001 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
We identify 304 mafic magmatic events ranging in age from ca. 3500 Ma to the present and
assess their potential for linkage to the arrival of mantle-plume heads. For each, we …
