The Carolina Terrane, also called the Carolina Superterrane or Carolinia, is an exotic terrane running ~370 miles (600 km) approximately North-South from central Georgia to central Virginia in the United States. It constitutes a major part of the eastern Piedmont Province. The terrane likely formed as a subduction-related volcanic island arc off the coast of South America during the Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian. Plate tectonics moved it across the Iapetus Ocean until it docked with Laurentia
