One was mentioned earlier, actually; though not labeled as such. Rodinia was the last supercontinent before Pangea, it was around about 1.1 to .75 billion years ago.

Named after what, the sculptor?

I never thought of that. Yeah, didn't you know Rodin would only work with stone that was at least a billion years old? :wink;

No it's named after a place, where there are still some rocks from that period. I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in Russia.

Nope. Just looked it up, not quite right. It's named for the Russian word for "Motherland".
