We present reconstructions of the Pacific region south of the equator for the following times: Anom. 5 (10.6 Ma), Anom. 7 (26.0 Ma), Anom. 21 (50.3 Ma ), Anom. 25 (59.2 Ma), and 100 Ma (CQZ). The reconstructions with interpreted isochrons are based upon magnetic picks, magnetic anomaly trends, and f...
