Paleomagnetism of the Ediacaran Avellaneda Formation (Argentina), part I: Paleogeography of the Río de la Plata craton at the dawn of Gondwana

•Two new paleomagnetic poles were obtained from late Ediacaran formations in the Río de la Plata Craton.•Rock magnetic data indicates that magnetic remanence is carried by magnetite and hematite.•The new poles suggest a major change in the previously adopted APWP for the Río de la Plata craton in the 600–560 Ma interval.•Río de la Plata craton underwent fast displacement from low latitudes at ca.600 Ma to high latitudes at 560 Ma.
