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 …

Establishing how tectonic plates have moved since deep time is essential for understanding
how Earth's geodynamic system has evolved and operates, thus answering longstanding …

The recognition that Earth history has been punctuated by supercontinents, the assembly
and breakup of which have profoundly influenced the evolution of the geosphere …

Just over 15 years ago, a proposal forwarded by Rogers and Santosh (2002) posited the
existence of a pre-Rodinia supercontinent which they called Columbia. The conjecture …

A set of global paleogeographic reconstructions for the 1770–1270 Ma time interval is
presented here through a compilation of reliable paleomagnetic data (at the 2009 Nordic …

Geological and paleomagnetic data support the hypothesis that a Paleo-Mesoproterozoic
supercontinent, referred to as Columbia, existed before the formation of Rodinia. This pre …

Abstract Sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits can be divided into two major subtypes. The first
subtype is clastic-dominated lead-zinc (CD Pb-Zn) ores, which are hosted in shale …

Idealized conceptual models of supercontinent cyclicity must be tested against the geologic
record using pre-Pangean reconstructions. We integrate tectonostratigraphic records and …

Supercontinents play an important role in Earth's history. The exact definition of what
constitutes a supercontinent is difficult to establish. Here the argument is made, using …

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 …
