Avalonia was originally situated along the periphery of a supercontinent (Vendia) in the Neoproterozoic and Early Paleozoic and became attached to Laurentia some time in the middle Paleo zoic.

 THE MYTH OF "AVALONIA": DID IT CONSTITUTE A SINGLE TERRANE OR SEVERAL DIFFERENT TERRANES IN THE EARLY PALEOZOIC?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The traditional school of thought interprets Avalon as a composite terrane (variously known as Avalonia, Avalon Zone, or Avalon Composite Terrane) assembled during the Late Proterozoic and later accreted to the Gander margin.
The opposite explanation is that the components of "Avalonia" were accreted to North America as individual terranes beginning in the Silurian and ending (except for relatively minor reactivation of terrane boundaries) in the Devonian.
An intermediate interpretation is that "Avalonia" was assembled in the Late Precambrian but broke apart in the Early Paleozoic (when it departed from Gondwana?) to form separate terranes, which then accreted individually to the Gander margin in the mid-Paleozoic.

 McMenamin Makes Fossil Discovery
"Avalonia is thus a continuous geological terrane," says McMenamin, "a volcanic island chain that had a distinctive trilobite fauna along its shores.
The rocks and their fossils were crushed and trapped as North America and Africa were rejoined." This collision led both to the formation of Pangea (which fragmented 250 million years later during the reign of dinosaurs) and to the uplift of the Appalachian mountain range.
Avalonia apparently first formed closer to Africa than to America, as its trilobites more closely resemble Old World trilobites than they do typical American trilobites.

Rocks in northern mainland Nova Scotia were deposited on the Western Avalonia microplate; an exotic terrane floored by Late Proterozoic arc-related intermediate to felsic volcanics of Gondwanan affinity.
By late Ordovician, West Avalonia (and East Avalonia = Anglo-Welsh Basin) had drifted away from Gondwana, northward across the Iapetus Ocean, and fell under the same climatic influences which were shaping Laurentia and Baltica.

These results suggest that Eastern Avalonia was attached to Gondwana during deposition of the Manx Group and that Iapetus oceanic crust did not subduct beneath the region before the end of the Arenig.
It is now well established that during much of the Early Palaeozoic Era the Iapetus Ocean separated the microcontinent of Eastern Avalonia to the south from the northern continent of Laurentia.
It comprises deep marine turbidites with subordinate debrites deposited on the northern margin of Eastern Avalonia during the Tremadoc and Arenig (Woodcock et al.

The microcontinent Avalonia was part of the high-latitude Gondwana paleocontinent until it drifted off in Middle Ordovician times.
Thus, as an a priori hypothesis, chitinozoan faunas preserved in the oldest rocks of Avalonia ought to be similar to the contemporary cold-water Gondwana faunas.
Furthermore, besides mirroring the drift history of Avalonia, the chitinozoan faunas can also be used together with coeval acritarchs to chronostratigraphically constrain the Avalonia-Baltica collision.
