Iapetus Ocean
Ocean that existed in the late Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic eras
The Iapetus Ocean existed in the late Neoproterozoic and early Paleozoic eras of the geologic timescale. It lay in the southern hemisphere, between the paleocontinents of Laurentia, Baltica and Avalonia. The ocean disappeared with the Acadian, Caledonian and Taconic orogenies, when these three continents joined to form one big landmass called Euramerica. The "southern" Iapetus Ocean has been proposed to have closed with the Famatinian and Taconic orogenies, meaning a collision between Western Gondwana and Laurentia.
