What is it about?

We present new paleomagnetic data to show that the North Australian Craton formed by collision of the Kimberley Craton with the proto-North Australian Craton shortly before 1.8 Ga. This assembly took place by a scissor-like collision forming the Halls Creek Orogen. Our data furthermore show that similar to other craton formation, only very minor relative motion seems to have taken place.
