Resumo

The paleogeography of the Meso-Neoproterozoic Rodinia supercontinent remains debated partly because many stable cratons still lack reliable paleomagnetic data for this period. A new geochronological and paleomagnetic study was conducted on the NNW-trending Manso dyke swarm of southern West Africa (Ghana) to clarify the position of this unconstrained continent in Rodinia. Two U\textbackslash{}\textbackslash{}Pb apatite ages of 857.2 +/- 8.5 Ma and 855 +/- 16 Ma agree with one previous baddeleyite age, indicating a -860 Ma emplacement age for the Manso dykes. A characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) was isolated in stable single to pseudo-single domain (SD-PSD) magnetite. Well constrained site mean directions obtained for 13 dykes lead to a mean direction for the Manso dyke swarm of Dm = 181.9 degrees, Im = -77.2 degrees (N = 13, alpha 95 = 7.6 degrees, k = 30.6), yielding a paleomagnetic pole at 177.6 degrees E, 28.3 degrees S, (A95 = 12.7 degrees K = 11.6). Two directional clusters of opposite inclination passa reversal test (C-class) and the primary origin is supported by a positive baked contact test, satisfying all the seven R-criteria to provide the first West African Tonian key paleomagnetic pole. This key pole indicates a high latitude for the West Africa Craton during the emplacement of the-860 Manso dykes. A compilation of reliable paleomag-netic poles for West Africa, Baltica, Amazonia and Congo-S \& atilde;o Francisco cratons suggests that these cratons were together between-1200 and 800 Ma in a long-lived WABAMGO configuration. We suggest that the collision of this block with Laurentia along the Grenvillian-Sunsas orogens closed the external Nuna Ocean and formed Rodinia by extroversion.
