	Laurentia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Laurentia is the craton at the heart of North America.
		Many times in its past, Laurentia has been a separate continent as it is now in the form of North America.
		"Laurentia" was also a proposed name for the country that united as Canada.

		Laurentia, the name given by geologists to a landmass that, between 600 and 500 million years ago, embraced eastern North America, most of Europe and much of Asia.
		Lionel GROULX in 1937 defined his "Laurentia" as a separate French, Catholic state.

	Prelude
		Baltica and Siberia, are nearby, to the southeast and northeast of Laurentia, respectively.
		Laurentia (along with Siberia and Baltica) and the components of West Gondwana moved southward, rotating clockwise.
		When Gondwana formed, Laurentia and Baltica were nearby, and some authorities have suggested that they may have been united with Gondwanda in an even larger supercontinent, Pannotia.

	Palaeos Earth: Geography: Laurentia
		Laurentia is an ancient continent incorporating much of what is now North America.
		During Cambrian and Ordovician time Laurentia was a large island continent with a mostly equatorial location, covered in warm shallow seas in which trilobites and other marine life flourished.
		During the Late Silurian and Devonian the Iapetus Ocean closed as Laurentia collided with the continent of Baltica to form the supercontinent Laurussia/Euramerica, and causing more mountain building (the Acadian Orogeny).

		Poles for 720 and 615 Ma are similar, and may by explained either by the small movement of Laurentia, or by a loop-like movement similar to the older Grenvillian Loop.
		In the first, we assign the minimum movement to Laurentia and Gondwana required to satisfy the paleomagnetic data and examine the relationship between this motion and the tectonothermal evolution of the peri-Gondwanan terranes.
		The latter is borne out by the failed test of the correlation between Dalradian Scotland and the Peruvian Arequipa massif, and by the discovery of the Neoproterozoic Marañon belt in the northern Andes.

		Laurentia likely resided at low southerly paleolatitudes throughout the Cambrian, ruling out a major inertial-interchange TPW event for Early to Middle Cambrian time.
		Within the Rodinian collage, Baltica was adjacent to, and probably welded to, Laurentia, with the modern eastern (Uralian) part of Baltica conjugate with the north of Laurentia.
		Laurentia was in turn attached to the South American terranes of Rio Plata and Amazonia, and possibly also West Africa.

		Obviously, the combination of Ganjam and Laurentia, resulting in the exhibition-cum-sale of 120 of Laurentia’s best designs at Ganjam By Design boutique in Bangalore was a special event for the City’s connoisseurs of jewellery.
		“Laurentia basically aims at helping the customer make his/ her own style statement with the designs of his/ her choice,” says Valeria Kuhar of Laurentia and perhaps this explains the ‘not-so-conventional’ designs from the Indian standards that were on display.
		The original colour tone of the collection and the unique concept of design soon led Laurentia to become a renowned firm for producing gold ornaments and jewellery with a high degree of value addition, distinguished by unusually colourful knots, locks, joints and couplings.

	Inter. Subcommission on Cambrian Stratigraphy
		Laurentia mainly consists of the North American craton and most of the marginal Cordilleran, Inuitian, Appalachian and Ouachita foldbelts, excluding possibly parts of western Alaska and the Avalonian regions of northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada.
		Cambrian sequences in the craton are exposed around basement uplifts in the U.S. Midcontinent (e.g., Indiana); in the Rocky Mountains of U.S. and southern Canada east of the belt of late Cretaceous and early Tertiary thrusting; and in parts of northern Canada, the Canadian Arctic Islands and northern Greenland.
		A transgression in the Early Cambrian flooded the marginal areas of Laurentia, but huge areas remained land until the time of maximum flooding in the Late Cambrian.

	Neoproterozoic-Early Paleozoic History of the Scottish Promontory of Laurentia
		Prior to assembly of Pangaea, it formed the tip of a major promontory of Laurentia (between the Labrador and Greenland margins) and may thus serve as a sensitive probe of interactions between NE Laurentia and other continents.
		Furthermore, we recognize a regional suite of mafic dikes that may serve as a reliable temporal marker that requires metamorphism to have occurred later than is currently presumed.
		In turn, this would permit correlation of common events along this entire margin, and thus support a proposed two-stage 'breakout' of Laurentia as a discrete continent during the Neoproterozoic, hypothetically from the Rodinian and Pannotian supercontinents, respectively.

	Was Laurentia the "southeast Pacific continent?"
		Paleomagnetic data are in keeping with the idea that Laurentia made an "end-run" around the proto-Andean margin during the Paleozoic, perhaps colliding with it more than once.
		The hypothesis that the proto-Appalachian margin of Laurentia rifted from the proto-Andean margin of South America at the end of the Precambrian, and that the Appalachian and Andean orogens were initially a single mountain system resulting from Paleozoic Laurentia-Gondwana interaction, has many and far-reaching implications.
		The work proposed in Chile, Argentina, and possibly Peru is designed to test the "Laurentian end-run" hypothesis, but will make significant contributions to understanding of the origin and development of the Pacific margin of South America regardless of its validity.

		Paleogeographic models of Rodinia commonly link western Laurentia with eastern Australia and East Antarctica, yet the precise fit and breakup age(s) are highly debated.
		Because East Antarctica and Laurentia were widely separated by Cambrian time, a direct source in Laurentia for ~1.4 Ga components in the outboard deposits is unlikely.
		Age components of 1.8-1.6 Ga, predicted by extension of Mojave-Yavapai-Mazatzal crust into East Antarctica, are also abundant in the detrital populations.
