output data files
UNINET_KimberliteCount_LIPstart_dFrag_5MyrRes.csv and UNINET_Past500Myr_KimberliteCount_LIPstart_dFrag_5MyrRes.csv
5 Myr aggregated time series for Uninet lag analysis

Symmetric_dFrag9Myr_alldataNA.csv
Time series (1 Myr resolution) for:
    Fragmentation (Frag);
    Rate of change of fragmentation (dFrag_9Myr), calculated over a moving interval t+/-4 Myr as a measure of breakup;
    Kimberlite count (Kimberlites);
    Kimberlite count corrected for preservation (see GoodwinPreservationCurve.csv above) (CorrKimberlites);
    Initiation of Large Igneous Provinces (LIPstart)

CLUSTER_sample_rates_Fig1e_ExFig4a.zip (large csv file)
Output from Migration_rate_estimates_with_uncertainty_MINLAG_and_MINDIST.r containing simulated estimates of migration rate, accounting for time, distance and model (rift association uncertainty) for Kimberlite clusters in N America, S America and Africa. This ouptut was used to generate Fig 1e and Extended Data Fig 4a in Gernon et al (2023)
