Magmatic activity and plate motion during the latent stage of Midcontinent Rift development

The Keweenawan Midcontinent Rift of North America records significant continental rifting between ca. 1110 and 1085 Ma, and preserves the most detailed paleomagnetic record of plate motion of any continent in Precambrian time.
