We present a revised set of Euler poles describing therelative motion between Australia and Antarctica fromthe onset of continental rifting at ~160-140 Ma to thereorganisation of the spreading system at ~50 Ma. Ourrevised reconstruction addresses two key issues thatremain unresolved in current plate...
