5. Evolution of Avalonia: interpretation Before 750 Ma: sedimentation in a continental basin on the Rodinian passive margin, adjacent to the western part of the Amazonian craton; 750-700 Ma: Early arc - initiation of subductional settings on the active margin; 700-620 Ma: sedimentation in the continental arc basin; 620-600 Ma: Main arc stage - back arc opening and rifting of Avalonia 600-530 Ma: Drifting of Avalonia as a insular microcontinent 570 Ma: Ceasing of the Avalonian magmatic activity and tectonic slivering 530 Ma: Docking to NW Africa (and Cadomia) 530-490 Ma: N. African stop-over and strike slip motions 490 Ma: Rheic opening, drifting of the Avalonia away 450-400 Ma: Caledonian orogeny; docking to Laurussia 300 Ma: Variscan orogeny < back 5/5
