Abstract
Geochronological, isotopic and aeromagnetic data, including a new Rb-S r isochron of 1076 +/- 7Ma for volcanic rocks at Bertrab Nunatak, Coat s Land, confirm the existence of rocks of Grenvillian age within both East and West Antarctica and support the juxtaposition of Antarctica a nd western North America in Neoproterozoic reconstructions.
