TL;DR: The Pan-African Damara orogenic system records Gondwana amalgamation involving serial suturing of the Congo-Sao Francisco and Ro ´o de la Plata cratons from 580 to 550 Ma, before amalgamation with the Kalahari - Antarctic cratsons (South Gondaline) as part of the 530 Ma Kuunga-Damara Orogeny as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, U-Pb data reveal that during the mid-Cambrian the central part of West Gondwana was still undergoing a high-grade tectonometamorphic event corresponding to collision.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present both reviews and new research relating to the shared Gondwana origins of countries facing each other across the South Atlantic Ocean, especially Brazil, Argentina, Cameroon, Nigeria, Angola, Namibia and South Africa.

TL;DR: In a number of recent papers, the theory has been postulated that porphyroblasts as a rule do not rotate with respect to geographical coordinates, and can be used to determine the original orientation of older foliations as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The Brasília Belt comprises terranes and thrust-sheets that were tectonically transported towards the western passive margin of the São Francisco-Congo palaeocontinent during an orogenic episode resulting from collision of the Paranapanema and Goiás blocks and the goiás magmatic arc against the Gondwana supercontinent at 0.64-0.61 Ga as discussed by the authors.
