The PLATES Project750 Ma - Late Neo-ProterozoicReconstruction of the hypothetical supercontinent, Rodinia, fully assembled (1000 Ma). Note the globe is turned on its side to present Laurentia (North America) in its more familiar view. Circles at left of globe are the paleomagnetic poles with A95 confidence circles. Blue circles = Coatsland, Antarctica; red = Kalahari; gold = Laurentia.
