Ancient supercontinent of "Columbia" proposed
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_1892000/1892869.stm
New Version of Ancient Supercontinent
Geologists working together from around the globe have put together an ancient supercontinent, far older than anything previously suggested. The giant landmass, which they are calling Columbia, would have covered the entire Earth more than one and a half billion years ago.

Professor John Rogers of the University of North Carolina, the lead researcher, was behind the name for the newly proposed landmass. "I named the supercontinent Columbia because some of the best evidence for its existence is in the Columbia River region of western North America," he said.
