Supplement to "Submarine volcanism along shallow ridges did not drive Cryogenian cap carbonate formation": Boundaries between continental and ocean crust

Description

This data set of boundaries between oceanic and continental crust is based on the data set from Müller et al. (2016) with numerous modifications. We used a recent review of COB locations from Eagles et al. (2015) to re-evaluate alternative proposed COB locations, considered COB-related structures visible in the vertical gravity gradient grid (Sandwell et al., 2014) and consulted a number of recent papers proposing revised COB locations (Bond et al., 2023; Cowie et al., 2017; Funck et al., 2022; Guan et al., 2019; Mercier de Lépinay et al., 2016; Mortimer et al., 2020). The data set is made available as gpmlz file readable with open-source GPlates, pyGPlates and GPlately software (see www.gplates.org) and as ESRI shapefile.
