An atlas of Phanerozoic paleogeographic maps: the seas come in and the seas go out
CR Scotese - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Paleogeography is the study of the changing surface of Earth through time. Driven by plate
tectonics, the configuration of the continents and ocean basins has been in constant flux …

Geological reconstructions of the East Asian blocks: From the breakup of Rodinia to the assembly of Pangea
Pangea is the youngest supercontinent in Earth's history and its main body formed by
assembly of Gondwana and Laurasia about 300–250 Ma ago. As supported by voluminous …
