| First it formed two supercontinents, Laurasia and Gondwanaland. |
| To the north of the Tethys, the then land mass was called Angaraland and to the south of it, it was called Gondwanaland. |
| Like other blocks of the Cimmerian continent, the Baoshan block rifted from Gondwanaland. |
| Gondwanaland was the name given to the southern half of this landmass, the part that includes modern-day Africa, Australia, South America, Antarctica and India. |
| The Late Mesoproterozoic Pinjarra Orogen in Western Australia is considered to have taken an important role for the assemblage of the Indian and Western Australian blocks to the Gondwanaland ensemble. |
| Superposed horst and graben structures were identified, and are correlated to the formation of the Krishna-Godavari basin as a result of the rifting and drifting of India from Gondwanaland. |
