Review
' ... cheap enough to justify its purchase by any research worker with an interest in the changing geography of our globe.' Geoscientist
Product Description
This atlas presents the inferred positions of global paleoshorelines through the 240 million years of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Thirty-one maps, generally corresponding to stratigraphic stages, provide a snapshot of the continents and their shorelines at approximately 8 million year intervals. The maps are a representation of the gross changes in the distribution of land and sea throughout the Mesozoic and Cenozoic plotted on Mollweide projections of paleocontinental reconstruction. They do not distinguish between well and poorly defined shorelines, but the information sources are set out in a bibliography numbering more that 2000 primary paleographic references. Work up to 1980 was used in the initial compilation, and the final maps use additional unreferenced and unpublished data up to about 1987.
