Global paleogeographies in the Neoproterozoic are poorly known. In particular, the assembly of Gondwana at the end of the Proterozoic is controversial. In order to constrain the kinematic evolution of the Rio de la Plata craton, a paleomagnetic study was carried out in the Vendian to Cambrian Sierra...
