Project Start Page Animation Paleogeographic reconstructions

at 156 Ma at M24 at 136 Ma at 130 Ma PDF (all steps)

All maps are paleogeographic reconstructions of the Australian Northwest Shelf at 156.0Ma (Pre-breakup configuration), 151 Ma (chron M24), 136 Ma, and 130 Ma. Australia is held fixed in present day coordinates. Shown are present day continental outlines. For a detailed description please refer to Chapter 3.2 of my thesis.

Abbreviations used: MBT = Main Boundary Thrust, CT = Carnarvon Terrace, ExP = Exmouth Plateau, ScP = Scott Plateau, WB = West Burma Block, SikNat = Sikuleh - Natal Blocks, BE = Banda Embayment, BH = Bird's Head region of Irian Jaya, SDRS = Seaward dipping reflectors.

• Paleogeographic reconstruction for 156 Ma
• Paleogeographic reconstruction for 151 Ma (M24)
• Paleogeographic reconstruction for 136 Ma
• Paleogeographic reconstruction for 131 Ma
• single PDF of the above maps. This corresponds to Figure 10 of the Austr. J. Earth Sci. paper
