  abstract = {{T}he paleogeography of the {M}eso-{N}eoproterozoic {R}odinia supercontinent remains debated partly because many stable cratons still lack reliable paleomagnetic data for this period. {A} new geochronological and paleomagnetic study was conducted on the {NNW}-trending {M}anso dyke swarm of southern {W}est {A}frica ({G}hana) to clarify the position of this unconstrained continent in {R}odinia. {T}wo {U}\\{P}b apatite ages of 857.2 +/- 8.5 {M}a and 855 +/- 16 {M}a agree with one previous baddeleyite age, indicating a -860 {M}a emplacement age for the {M}anso dykes. {A} characteristic remanent magnetization ({C}h{RM}) was isolated in stable single to pseudo-single domain ({SD}-{PSD}) magnetite. {W}ell constrained site mean directions obtained for 13 dykes lead to a mean direction for the {M}anso dyke swarm of {D}m = 181.9 degrees, {I}m = -77.2 degrees ({N} = 13, alpha 95 = 7.6 degrees, k = 30.6), yielding a paleomagnetic pole at 177.6 degrees {E}, 28.3 degrees {S}, ({A}95 = 12.7 degrees {K} = 11.6). {T}wo directional clusters of opposite inclination passa reversal test ({C}-class) and the primary origin is supported by a positive baked contact test, satisfying all the seven {R}-criteria to provide the first {W}est {A}frican {T}onian key paleomagnetic pole. {T}his key pole indicates a high latitude for the {W}est {A}frica {C}raton during the emplacement of the-860 {M}anso dykes. {A} compilation of reliable paleomag-netic poles for {W}est {A}frica, {B}altica, {A}mazonia and {C}ongo-{S} & atilde;o {F}rancisco cratons suggests that these cratons were together between-1200 and 800 {M}a in a long-lived {WABAMGO} configuration. {W}e suggest that the collision of this block with {L}aurentia along the {G}renvillian-{S}unsas orogens closed the external {N}una {O}cean and formed {R}odinia by extroversion.},
