TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of global plate motion model consisting of a set of continuously-closing topological plate polygons with associated plate boundaries and plate velocities since the break-up of the supercontinent Pangea is presented.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continental break-up and collision in the Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic — A tale of Baltica and Laurentia
Trond H. Torsvik,Mark A. Smethurst,Joseph G. Meert,R. van der Voo,W.S. McKerrow,Martin D. Brasier,B.A. Sturt,H. J. Walderhaug +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that Laurentia and Baltica shared a common drift history for the time interval 750-600 Ma as they rotated clockwise and drifted southward from an equatorial position during the opening of the Proto-Pacific between Laurentia, and the two continents of Baltica and Laurentia witnessed the break-up of one supercontinent, Rodinia and the formation of another, but less long-lived, Pangea.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earth geography from 500 to 400 million years ago: a faunal and palaeomagnetic review
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of palaeomagnetic and faunal data is used to reconstruct the changing palaeolatitudes of Baltica, Laurentia and Siberia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global plate motion frames: Toward a unified model
Trond H. Torsvik,Trond H. Torsvik,R. Dietmar Müller,Rob Van der Voo,Bernhard Steinberger,Carmen Gaina +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze four different reference frames (paleomagnetic, African fixed hot spot, African moving hot spot and global moving hot spots) and develop a unifying approach for connecting a hot spot track system and a paleomagnetic absolute plate reference system into a hybrid model for the time period from the assembly of Pangea (∼320 Ma) to the present.
