A Himalayan-type indentor-escape tectonics model for the southern part of the Late Neoproterozoic-Early Paleozoic East African-Antarctic Orogen

The East African–Antarctic orogen is one of the largest orogenic belts on the planet. It resulted from the collision of various parts of proto–East and West Gondwana during late Neoproterozoic–early Paleozoic time (between 650 and 500 Ma).
