Amalgamating eastern Gondwana: The evolution of the Circum-Indian Orogens
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrated Neoproterozoic palaeomagnetic solutions from the various blocks that made up eastern Gondwana, with the large amount of recent geological data available from the orogenic belts that formed as eastern gondwana amalgamated.

The Cambrian Explosion: Plume-driven birth of the second ecosystem on Earth
TL;DR: In this article, a plume-driven uplift of TTG crust, subsequent rifting, and subduction-related nutrient systems prior to the assembly of Gondwana was investigated.

Rift and plate boundary evolution across two supercontinent cycles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the locations of rifts and subduction zones continuously since the Neoproterozoic and within a self-consistent plate kinematic framework and extract measures of continental perimeter-to-area ratio as a proxy for the existence of a supercontinent.

Terminal suturing of Gondwana along the southern margin of South China Craton: Evidence from detrital zircon U-Pb ages and Hf isotopes in Cambrian and Ordovician strata, Hainan Island
Yajun Xu,Yajun Xu,Peter A. Cawood,Peter A. Cawood,Yuansheng Du,Zengqiu Zhong,Nigel C. Hughes +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of the provenance record of the Cambrian and Ordovician strata suggests that the juxtaposition of South China and West Australian cratons occurred during the early to mid-Ordovician.
The relations between Gondwana and the adjacent peripheral Cadomian domain—constrains on the origin, history, and paleogeography of the peripheral domain
TL;DR: This article examined the relationship between the Cadomian-type peri-Gondwana blocks and West and North Africa and Arabia (WNA) and the sediments derived therefrom during the Neoproterozoic.

Recognition and tectonic implications of an extensive Neoproterozoic volcano-sedimentary rift basin along the southwestern margin of the Tarim Craton, northwestern China
Chao Wang,Liang Liu,Yong-He Wang,Shi-Ping He,Rong-She Li,Meng Li,Wenqiang Yang,Yuting Cao,Alan S. Collins,Chao Shi,Zhong-Nan Wu +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented zircon U-Pb results from 10 samples of rocks from these volcano-sedimentary successions for provenance and age determinations, and geochemical analyses on basalts of the bimodal volcanic rocks from the Sailajiazitage Group.

A Neoproterozoic Snowball Earth
TL;DR: Negative carbon isotope anomalies in carbonate rocks bracketing Neoproterozoic glacial deposits in Namibia, combined with estimates of thermal subsidence history, suggest that biological productivity in the surface ocean collapsed for millions of years.
Did the breakout of laurentia turn gondwanaland inside-out?
TL;DR: Comparative geology suggests that the continents adjacent to northern, western, southern, and eastern Laurentia in the Late Proterozoic were Siberia, Australia-Antarctica, southern Africa, and Amazonia-Baltica, respectively.
