...However, if the widespread 1.28–1.26 Ga large igneous events are linked to the supercontinent disaggregation (Evans and Mitchell, 2011), then the prolonged 1.6–1.2 Ga LIP events in the lead-up of Nuna fragmentation is not dissimilar to the protracted breakup process of Rodinia, which lasted over…...

...Our paleomagnetism-based global reconstruction, for the first time, quantitatively assembles all major cratons together; it encompasses previously proposed regional links including the SAMBA connection between Baltica, Amazonia and Western Africa (Johansson, 2009), connections between Laurentia, Baltica and Siberia at the core of Nuna (Evans and Mitchell, 2011), the proto-SWEAT connection between Laurentia, East Antarctica and Australian blocks (Payne et al., 2009), and the NCB–India connection (Zhao et al., 2011)....

...Our paleomagnetism-based global reconstruction is in agreement with previously proposed, geologically based models, including the SAMBA connection between Baltica, Amazonia and Western Africa (Johansson, 2009), the Nuna core connection between Laurentia, Baltica and Siberia (Evans and Mitchell, 2011), the proto-SWEAT connection between Laurentia, Mawson block and Australian blocks (Goodge et al., 2008; Payne et al., 2009) and the NCB–India connection (Zhao et al., 2011)....

...…Siberia and Baltica appear to have remained largely intact through the Mesoproterozoic (Cawood and Hawkesworth, 2014; Cawood et al., 2016; Evans and Mitchell, 2011; Pisarevsky et al., 2014) and Cathaysia remained attached to India throughout this timeframe (Yu et al., 2012) positioned…...
