Description
Summary:Figure 3. Northward drift of African and South American conjugate basins relative to Hadley Cells and the chronology of the South Atlantic Ocean. Inset shows conjugate Sergipe-Gabon and Campos- Kwanza basins in South America and Africa. From the initial opening of the South Atlantic Ocean heralded by the Etendeka-Paraná Large Igneous Province (LIP), the basins drifted from their starting position in interior Gondwana. As the width of the South Atlantic has grown, Africa has also drifted north relative to South America and through the latitudes of the descending limb of the southern Hadley Cell. ... : Published as part of Jacobs, Louis L., Polcyn, Michael J., Mateus, Octávio, Schulp, Anne S., Gonçalves, António Olímpmpio & Morais, Maria Luísa, 2016, Post-Gondwana Africa and the vertebrate history of the Angolan Atlantic Coast, pp. 343-362 in Memoirs of Museum Victoria 74 on page 346, DOI: 10.24199/j.mmv.2016.74.24, http://zenodo.org/record/12213428 ...
