There is no such thing as the "Australia Craton" as stated in the introduction to this article. The Yilgarn Craton was an essential part of Kennorland, dating back to 4.4 Ga, but it is only one of numerous cratons in Australia. Both the Yilgarn Craton and Pilbara Cratons make up Western Australia: Altjawarra Craton in Central Australia, Curnamona Craton in South Australia and Gawler Craton in Central South Australia.
There is ongoing paleogeomagnetic research involved in identifying and analyzing the continental crust and makeup of Kenorland. We still do not know with 100% certainty whether or not Kenorland was a single global supercontinent or if other large landmasses existed alongside it. There is a subjective bias towards favoring the theory that Kenorland was a defacto supercontinent and no other landmasses existed at this time. I think a note should be added to the article that informs the reader of the alternative hypotheses. Valich 16:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I removed the following sentence about Kenorland:
This had no source cited, and is untrue and confusing. The name Kenorland has two uses: one is the supercontinent or very large continent Kenorland (in this article). The other use is for a sub-section of Laurentia. The removed sentence refers to this latter, much smaller "Kenorland". It doesn't belong in this article, but it could be added to the Laurentia or perhaps the Canadian Shield article, with some rewording and a citation. In any case, the supercontinent Nena formed at least 200 million years after the supercontinent Kenorland broke apart. 2601:441:467F:9E00:F907:6112:FCDE:50 ( talk) 18:51, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
The maps look like original research to me. They're labeled "own work" and don't cite any sources used to draw them. The first map somewhat resembles one in Slabunov, Guo, Balagansky, and Lubnina 2017, but if that's one of the sources it isn't attributed. The second map doesn't resemble anything I'm seeing in a quick Google Search.
