 Laurussia - Definition 

Euramerica (also known as Laurussia) was a minor supercontinent created in the Devonian by the collision of Laurentia and Baltica. Euramerica became part of the major supercontinent Pangaea in the Permian. In the Jurassic, the major supercontinent Pangæa rifted into two minor supercontinents Gondwana and Laurasia. Euramerica was part of the minor supercontinent Laurasia. In the Cretaceous, the minor supercontinent Laurasia rifted into the continent North America and the minor supercontinent Eurasia. North America kept the Laurentian craton, while Eurasia kept the Baltican craton; thus ending Euramerica.
