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.

- 01 Jan 2021
TL;DR: Congo and Sao Francisco cratons as discussed by the authors are made of several Archean and Paleoproterozoic nuclei welded together by PPP belts and are considered to be a stable lithospheric entity by 2.0 and 2.7-2.6, respectively.

A trans-Iapetus transform fault control for the evolution of the Rheic Ocean: Implications for an early Paleozoic transition of accretionary tectonics
TL;DR: The trans-Iapetus transform was likely active between 510 and 450 Ma and extended from the proto-Appalachian margin of Laurentia to the proto Andean margin of Gondwana as discussed by the authors .
An 40Ar–39Ar laser-probe study of pseudotachylites in charnockite gneisses from the Cauvery Shear Zone system, South India
TL;DR: The age of pseudotachylite formation in the crustal-scale Cauvery Shear Zone system of the Precambrian Southern Granulite Terrain (South India) has been analyzed by laser-probe Ar-40-Ar-39 dating as mentioned in this paper.

Metamorphic events during the formation of the East African Orogen : case studies from Madagascar and Tanzania
Niels Jöns
- 02 May 2007
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated metamorphic rocks from Madagascar and Tanzania, using petrological, geochronological, and geochemical methods, in order to unravel the timing and geodynamic causes of the East African Orogen.

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.
