Naming

Components

Kenorland consisted essentially of the Canadian Shield, that is, the Superior craton Slave craton Hearne craton and.

Kenorland as a geological continent

Kenorland became a not exactly given time (less than 2500 million years ago), probably about 1800 million years ago by accretion of the Wyoming craton, the Rae and Nain complex of Greenland and two Siberian cratons welded to a large continent Arctica.
