Gondwana is reviewed from the unification of its several cratons in the Late Neoproterozoic,
through its combination with Laurussia in the Carboniferous to form Pangea and up to its …

The Rheic Ocean, which separated Laurussia from Gondwana following the closure of
Iapetus, is arguably the most important ocean of the Palaeozoic. Its suture extends from …

As the chronicle of plate motions through time, paleogeography is fundamental to our
understanding of plate tectonics and its role in shaping the geology of the present-day. To …

Tectonic or subduction erosion refers to the removal of upper-plate material from the forearc
at convergent margins. Subduction erosion has been suggested to represent a major …

The large Palaeozoic continent of Laurentia was largely in North America, but included parts
of modern Europe. It was independent from late Neoproterozoic times at about 570Ma until it …

The Rheic Ocean was one of the most important oceans of the Paleozoic Era. It lay between
Laurentia and Gondwana from the Early Ordovician and closed to produce the vast Ouachita …

The tectonics, dynamics, and biogeographic landscape of the early Paleozoic were
dominated by the opening and expansion of one large ocean—the Rheic—and the …

Abstract The Iapetus Ocean opened during the fission of the supercontinent Rodinia, from
the breakup of three of its core continental constituents: Laurentia, Baltica and Amazonia …

The pre-Mesozoic metamorphic geology of Mexico is summarized in this review through the
integral analysis of 11 deep orogenic systems composed altogether of more than 20 …

The analysis of the basement of the Andes shows the strong Grenville affinities of most of the
inliers exposed in the different terranes from Colombia to Patagonia. The terranes have …
