From: High-latitude platform carbonate deposition constitutes a climate conundrum at the terminal Mesoproterozoic

Fig. 3

A Steep dual polarity remanence directions were obtained by demagnetization of samples from the Kurnool Group (This study). All directions are shown in tilt-corrected coordinates. Symbols: closed = down, open = up. Ellipses = α95 confidence cones about site means. B Steep dual polarity remanence directions were previously obtained by demagnetization of samples from Kaladgi and Bhima basins (K&B) ref. 5, Chhattisgarh and Pranhita-Godavari Valley basins (C&PG) ref. 4. All directions are shown in tilt-corrected coordinates. Symbols: closed = down, open = up. Ellipses = α95 confidence cones about site means. C Reconstruction of southern India and North China based on poles from late Mesoproterozoic high-latitude platform carbonate units relative to the well-established core of Rodinia (i.e., Laurentia, Siberia, and Baltica). Depicted poles are listed in Supplementary Notes. Southern India was reconstructed by a rotation of 64° around an Euler pole located at 0°N and 337°E. North China is rotated by 47° around an Euler pole located at 0°N and 60°E.
