Paleogeography in the Ediacaran was dominated by the final stages of the breakup of the Supercontinent Rodinia, and saw the assembly of a new supercontinent, Gondwana, at its end. While it is generally agreed that these events occurred during this time, specifics pertaining to the location of continental fragments and the timing of certain events in relation to each other vary wildly depending upon the model used, due to lacking paleomagnetic data. The opening of the Iapetus Ocean began around 610 Ma[1]
