“…For example, the Sveconorwegian Orogen in southern Baltica (present co-ordinates) is generally inferred to have formed through continental collision with Amazonia during Rodinia assembly and be contiguous with the Grenville Orogen (Bingen et al, 2008c;Gower et al, 1990;Park, 1992) but recently formation of the orogen in an accretionary setting on the margin of Rodinia has been proposed (Slagstad et al, 2013a). The assembly of Amazonia and Laurentia has been related to both oblique or orthogonal collision, dependent in part on the relative positions of these cratons before and after collision (e.g., Dalziel, 1997;Evans, 2013;Johansson, 2009;Park, 1992;Pisarevsky et al, 2014;Pisarevsky et al, 2003;Tohver et al, 2004b). Some models have questioned whether Amazonia was the colliding element or even if there was collisional orogenesis (Dalziel et al, 2000;Evans, 2009;Santos et al, 2008).…”
