Paleomagnetic confirmation of the “unorthodox” configuration of Atlantica between 2.1-2.0 Ga

•Six new paleomagnetic poles were obtained from mid-Paleoproterozoic plutons from the Río de la Plata craton.•Fast polar displacement and high paleolatitudes are inferred for the craton between 2.1 and 2.0 Ga.•If Atlantica continent ever existed, had a significantly different configuration than the originally proposed.
