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.

TL;DR: In this article, U-Pb dating of igneous zircons from gabbroic rocks yielded a mean age of 563±1.1 ǫ (2σ), indicating emplacement during the latest Neoproterozoic (Ediacaran).

From passive margin to volcano-sedimentary forearc: the Tonian to Cryogenian evolution of the Anosyen Domain of southeastern Madagascar
TL;DR: In this paper, the Iakora and Horombe groups of the Anosyen Domain of southeastern Madagascar have been investigated and it was shown that the sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the IAKORA and HOROMBE groups contain predominantly 2400-1600-Ma aged detrital zircon with a modal age peak at approximately 1850-Ma.

Provenance of sediments in the Marwar Supergroup, Rajasthan, India: Implications for basin evolution and Neoproterozoic global events
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present age constraints for the initiation of sedimentation and evolution of the Marwar Supergroup of NW India, which contains largely unmetamorphosed and undeformed fluvial and marginal marine siliciclastics, marine carbonates and minor volcaniclastics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that the Mesoproterozoic accretionary orogens formed as peripheral subduction zones along the margin of the supercontinent Nuna (ca. 1.8-1.6

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.
