Extending full-plate tectonic models into deep time: Linking the Neoproterozoic and the Phanerozoic

Andrew S. Merdith et al.

Summary: Recent progress in plate tectonic reconstructions has expanded beyond continental drift to reconstruct the full evolving configuration of tectonic plates and plate boundaries. A continuous full-plate model spanning 1 billion years to present-day has been developed, incorporating a revised model for the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian period and connecting it with models of the Phanerozoic. The model is geologically constrained and based on preserved data from past plate boundaries, with the goal of providing a detailed and self-consistent tectonic reconstruction for the last billion years of Earth's history.

BIOSTRATIGRAPHY AND TAXONOMY OF DRUMIAN ( MIDDLE CAMBRIAN) AGNOSTID TRILOBITES OF THE MANUELS RIVER FORMATION, AVALONIAN NEWFOUNDLAND, CANADA

Anne Hildenbrand et al.

Summary: New, well-preserved agnostid trilobite material has been collected from the type locality of the Drumian Manuels River Formation in Newfoundland, Canada, showing distinct interval zones in the succession. The Ptychagnostus atavus Zone is shorter and stratigraphically higher compared to other sections, while the Ptychagnostus punctuosus Zone can be correlated globally. The faunal assemblage is similar to Scandinavia, Greenland, and England.

Quantitative comparison of geological data and model simulations constrains early Cambrian geography and climate

Thomas W. Wong Hearing et al.

Summary: Contrasting hypotheses regarding Cambrian continental configuration and climate were tested, with results indicating that the Antarctocentric paleogeographic paradigm can reconcile geological data and simulated Cambrian climate. Analysis suggests a greenhouse climate during the Cambrian animal radiation period.

888-444 Ma Global Plate Tectonic Reconstruction With Emphasis on the Formation of Gondwana

Christian Verard

Summary: The formation of Gondwana is associated with a complex history that involves numerous orogenic sutures. The Panalesis model, a plate tectonic model, offers a comprehensive solution for understanding Earth's evolution from 888 to 444 million years ago. By using Plate Tectonics, this model can provide additional data on various aspects of Earth's geological processes and help understand global tectonic activity over time.
