Pan-African is Pan-Gondwanaland:Oblique convergence drives rotation during 650-500 Ma assembly
Gondwanaland was assembled by 650-570 Ma oblique subduction of ocean floor between cratons, including the Mozambique Ocean between West and East Gondwanaland. Oblique convergence set the cratons into a series of counterrotating cogs that sheared the intervening fold belts. The 550-490 Ma oblique sub...
