The Paleoproterzoic Penokean orogeny developed in an embayment on the southern margin of the Superior Craton . 45. They point to, for example, thick volcanic deposits on other cratons such as Karnataka. 46. Prior to the Triassic, the North China Craton was an independent continent surrounded by oceans. 47. These cratons share similar geological histories and are therefore assumed to have formed the continent Vaalbara. 48. It is located at the junction of the Yilgarn Craton and the Fraser Range Mobile Belt. 49. The ancient cores of continents, believed to date from the Hadean, are called Cratons . 50.
