The Giant Continent Forms

Abstract At the start of this period Gondwana and Laurasia had just started to collide; by the end of it, the giant continent of Pangaea stretched from the South Pole to near the North Pole with the Palaeo-Tethys Sea on its east-ern side, almost entirely enclosed by ‘continents’ that have come to be...
