Gondwana is reviewed from the unification of its several cratons in the Late Neoproterozoic,
through its combination with Laurussia in the Carboniferous to form Pangea and up to its …

Abstract The Iapetus Ocean opened during the fission of the supercontinent Rodinia, from
the breakup of three of its core continental constituents: Laurentia, Baltica and Amazonia …

Abstract West and East Ganderia in the northern Appalachians and Caledonides,

The assembly of West Gondwana was completed by the end of the Precambrian, when the

An extensive compilation of crustal thicknesses is used to develop crustal models in
continental South America. We consider point crustal thicknesses from seismic refraction …

The provenance of Neoproterozoic to Early Paleozoic sedimentary rocks in the Sierras
Pampeanas has been established using U–Pb SHRIMP age determination of detrital zircons …

We provide estimates for the width, timing, and rates of opening and closing of the Iapetus
and Rheic oceans, the evolution of which profoundly influenced Paleozoic global …

Along the proto-Pacific margin of Gondwana, from Venezuela to northeastern Patagonia, the
Early–Middle Ordovician Famatinian orogeny was the first orogenic event following …

Abstract The Iapetus Ocean was the first ancient ocean to be identified following the
development of plate tectonics; its history has been fundamental in relating orogenesis and …

The Pampean orogeny of northern Argentina resulted from Early Cambrian oblique collision
