Discussion and reply: West African proximity of the Avalon terrane in the latest Precambrian

The paper of [McNamara et al. (2001)][1] presents high-quality paleomagnetic data from the ca. 580–570 Ma volcanic and interbedded clastic rocks of the Marystown Group in the Avalon terrane of southern Newfoundland (western Avalonia) and is a welcome addition to the literature. We agree that their
