Across the entire mantle we interpret 94 positive seismic wave-speed anomalies as
subducted lithosphere and associate these slabs with their geological record. We document …

Integration of regional stratigraphic relationships with data on sediment accumulation,
provenance, paleodrainage, and deformation timing enables a reconstruction of Mesozoic …

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 …

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 …

Early during the twentieth Century, pioneering correlations between the Palaeozoic–
Mesozoic basins of South America and southern Africa were used by Alexander du Toit to …

West Antarctica has formed the tectonically active margin between East Antarctica and the
Pacific Ocean for almost half a billion years, where it has recorded a dynamic history of …

Age relations for assembly of Gondwana and Pangea indicate that the timing of collisional
orogenesis between amalgamating continental bodies was synchronous with subduction …

The Andes make up the largest orogenic system developed by subduction of oceanic crust
along a continental margin. Subduction began soon after the breakup of Rodinia in Late …

The origin of the Antarctic continent can be traced to a relatively small late Archaean cratonic
nucleus centred on the Terre Adélie regions of East Antarctica and the Gawler Craton region …

We present a revised model for the opening of the South Atlantic Ocean founded on a
remapping of the continent—ocean boundaries and Aptian salt basins, the chronology of …
