Analysis of paleomagnetic data enabled reconstruction of mutual spatial position of Siberia and Laurentia, though regarded as preliminary. However, presented paleomagnetic evidence poses some limitations on the present paleogeodynamic reconstructions of Rodinia formation and breakup and allows certain important conclusions. In particular, it is established that in Neoproterozoic Siberian craton faced Laurentia with its (craton's) south periphery.
