Fig. 4: Plate tectonic reconstructions showing the position of Argyle within the McArthur-Yanliao Gulf.

A At 1330 Ma. B At 1300 Ma. C At 1270 Ma. The paleogeographic reconstruction is made using GPlates 2.3 open-source software (https://www.gplates.org/) with the full-plate model of Li et al.30. The potential extent of plume head that caused the Derim Derim-Galiwinku-Yanliao LIP is also shown, with its dimension elongated along rift zones28, 34.
