TL;DR: A significant number of new palaeomagnetic poles have become available since the last time a compilation was made (assembled in 2005, published in 2008) to indicate to us that a new and significantly expanded set of tables with palaeOMagnetic results would be valuable, with results coming from the Gondwana cratonic elements, Laurentia, Baltica/Europe, and Siberia as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the approximately 50 Ma “India”–Asia collision was a collision of a Tibetan-Himalayan microcontinent with Asia, followed by subduction of the largely oceanic Greater India Basin along a subduction zone at the location of the Greater Himalaya.

TL;DR: It is shown that using a mantle reference frame, which defines plate positions relative to the mantle, instead of a paleomagnetic reference frame may introduce errors in paleolatitude of more than 15° (>1500 km), because mantle reference frames cannot constrain, or are specifically corrected for the effects of true polar wander.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess whether plume head arrival and its lateral asthenospheric flow may explain the plate velocity increases and whether decreased plume flux and increasing continent-plume distance may explain deceleration, even without continental collision.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantitatively investigate the relation between nappe stacking and subduction in the Aegean region and conclude that the imaged slab represents the subducted lithosphere that originally underlay the nappes.
