The original version of this article unfortunately contained several mistakes in Figs. 8 and 9:

“Van der Voo et al. 1998” should be “Van der Voo 1993”, “Kravchink et al. 1998” should be “Kravchinsky et al. 2002”, “Huang et al. 2007” should be “Huang et al. 2008”.

The references “Huang et al. 2005, 2007” in caption of Figs. 8 and 9 should be “Huang et al. 2005, 2008”.

The corrected Figs. 8 and 9 and the Huang et al. references are given below:

Paleomagnetic data for Siberia, South Kazakhstan, and Tarim cratons (modified after Van der Voo 1993; Van der Voo et al. 2006; Fang et al. 1996; Smethurst et al. 1998; Kravchinsky et al. 2002; Bazhenov et al. 2003; Huang et al. 2005, 2008). Star for Tarim, circle for Southern Kazakhstan, and diamond, open and solid box for Siberia from various references indicated

Fig. 9

Paleo-positions for Siberia and Tarim implied by APW paths and some key paleomagnetic poles for the two continents (Modified after Van der Voo 1993; Van der Voo et al. 2006; Fang et al. 1996; Smethurst et al. 1998; Kravchinsky et al. 2002; Bazhenov et al. 2003; Huang et al. 2005, 2008). Red arrows denote the present south pole of Siberia, black bold arrows represent the present north pole of Tarim. Note that the relative position of the two continents does not represent the paleopalinspastic reconstruction. The green and yellow colors for Siberia from various references indicated
