Recent progress in plate tectonic reconstructions has seen models move beyond the
classical idea of continental drift by attempting to reconstruct the full evolving configuration of …

The history of the South China Craton and the constituent Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks are
directly linked to Earth's Phanerozoic and Precambrian record of supercontinent assembly …

The making of Pangea is the result of large-scale amalgamation of continents and micro-

The Altaids, one of the largest and long-lived accretionary orogens in the world, developed
from ca. 600Ma to 250Ma by the multiple accretions of terranes of different origin, chiefly …

Abstract After its Ediacaran-Early Cambrian assembly, Gondwana was flanked by a system

The ocean‐atmosphere system is typically envisioned to have gone through a unidirectional
oxygenation with significant oxygen increases in the earliest (ca. 635 Ma), middle (ca. 580 …

The oxygen content of the Earth's surface environment is thought to have increased in two
broad steps: the Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) around the Archean–Proterozoic boundary …

Metazoans are likely to have their roots in the Cryogenian period,,, but there is a marked
increase in the appearance of novel animal and algae fossils shortly after the termination of …
