Regrettably, we found that the comment by Piper (this volume) lacks scientific objectiveness. The ‘Palaeopangaea’ that he promotes is, in our view, based on incorrect application of paleomagnetic data, and is not supported by geological evidence.enSupercontinentRodiniaNeoproterozoicPalaeopangaeaContinental riftBreak-upPaleomagnetismJournal article002009147910.1016/j.precamres.2009.06.0070002713628000142-s2.0-7034921012038301Collins, A.
