<David A. D. Evans> and <Ross N. Mitchell> combined <paleomagnetism> with the record of ancient continental margins to reconstruct a core of the <supercontinent> <Nuna>. Rotating same-age <paleomagnetic poles> into a common reconstruction tests whether the proposed continental neighbors share a compatible history. The study compared Siberia, Laurentia and Baltica, using agreement and later divergence of their records to constrain assembly and separation. These magnetic tests complement geological fits rather than assuming that a visually plausible arrangement uniquely reconstructs a vanished <supercontinent>.<Assembly and breakup of the core of Paleoproterozoic-Mesoproterozoic supercontinent Nuna by David A.
