[[File:Pannotia.svg|thumb|Pannotia 545 Ma, view centred on the South Pole
The formation of Pannotia began during the [[Pan-African orogeny]] when the [[Congo Craton|Congo continent]] got caught between the northern and southern halves of the previous supercontinent [[Rodinia]] some 750 Ma. The peak in this mountain building event was around 640–610 Ma, but these continental collisions may have continued into the Early Cambrian some 530 Ma. The formation of Pannotia was the result of Rodinia turning itself inside out.<ref name="Scotese-2009-Pannotia">{{Harvnb|Scotese|2009|loc=Reconstruction of Pannotia, pp. 71–72}}</ref>
