Very inaccurate

The "core Europe" is the subcontinent Baltica which was based on the 3.5 (?) Gy Karelian-(?)-something green-stone belt area, which grew by wandering around and adding sea-floor to itself,

  • the fennoscandian region 1.8 Gy?,
  • the fennonorwegian region 1.2 Gy?
  • plus others in the east,

forming Baltica. Then Baltica grew by

  • Avalonian fragments,
  • colliding with Laurentia and Siberia to form Laurasia,
  • collision with the North African parts of Gondwana, forming the Alps and the Mediterraneans, and pilfering Spain and Italy (parts of Africa),
  • etc., etc..

As well as inaccurate appallingly scanty

Wikipedia will go on about a pop music group for section after section ad nauseum but for a history of the geology of Europe this little bit? Two paragraphs to discuss the whole of history prior to the Pleistocene (> 2.5 million years ago)?
