The Maud, Rayner, and Wilkes provinces each have a distinctive age signature for late Mesoproterozoic–early Neoproterozoic magmatism and high-grade metamorphism and are correlated with similar rocks in the Namaqua-Natal (Africa), Eastern Ghats (India), and Albany-Fraser (Australia) provinces, respectively. These crustal segments represent three separate collisional orogens. They are separated by regions of intense late Neoproterozoic–Early Cambrian tectonism, consistent with their juxtaposition during the final assembly of Gondwana and indicating that previous models for a single, continuous, Grenville-age mobile belt around the East Antarctic coastline should be discarded.
