   Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Palaeogeography (sometimes spelled paleogeography ) is the study of the ancient geologic environments of the Earth 's surface as preserved in the stratigraphic record. Paleogeographic analysis is used in the detailed study of sedimentary basins in petroleum geology . Paleogeographers also study the sedimentary environment associated with fossils to aid in the understanding of evolutionary development of extinct species. The reconstructions of prehistoric continents and oceans depends on paleogeographic evidence. Thus paleogeography provided critical evidence for the development of continental drift and current plate tectonic theories. For example, knowledge of the shape and latitudinal location of supercontinents such as Pangaea and ancient oceans such as Panthalassa result from paleogeographic studies.

Fossil magnetism in rocks is misaligned with the Earth's present magnetic field, and shows that the continents have moved; it indicates the orientation and latitude of a continent at the time when the rocks were formed. This is the primary source of information about the past locations of continents, but it gives no indication of longitude. Good evidence of recent movements comes from the growth of ocean floors. Traces of ancient oceans, found among mountains, announce that different pieces of present continents were formerly separated, while evidence of rifting along shore-lines indicates that continents have split asunder. Edges can be put together again by computer programs that reconcile the coarse shapes of continents with the precise geometry of motions on a sphere, to obtain best fit... The continents can, though, be dismembered into microcontinents, and maps adjusted by evidence of connections and splits between organisms, climate as indicated by characteristic rocks (e.g., coal, or fossil sand dunes), and geological activity. Global patterns of climate and ocean circulation can be inferred...Continental arrangements before 6oo My ago are hazy and controversial, although the existence of earlier supercontinents [similar to Pangea ] is presumed Nigel Calder

This website accompanies the book on the right, but also contains much other material especially in Swedish (book-length treatises on European DNA and paleogeography). This site deals with two issues relating to Plato's Atlantis: 2. The lesson of Atlantis: what, if anything, can we learn from this? While the second issue is surely the more interesting one, one can not approach it without first dealing with the first. The approach used by self-proclaimed "sceptics" is to instead pose the question if Atlantis is fact or fiction, and reply that it is fiction. However, that is a false dilemma : the reply is given beforehand by the nature of the question.

4. Paleogeography
   We can reconstruct the paleogeography of the Earth best for the Late Proterozoic to the Cenozoic because we can reconstruct the plate motions reasonably  
   http://www.geology.wisc.edu/courses/g109/Additional/paleogeography.htm
   
   Extractions: Geologic Maps Introduction: The paleogeography of North America in the Cambrian was similar to that in the Late Proterozoic, where much of the continent was flooded by a large inland sea. Clearly this indicates a lack of orogenic (mountain-building) activity, indicating that most of the margins of North America were passive continental margins. Such an environment was common on many continents in the late Precambrian, and were ideal conditions to foster an explosion of complex, hard-shelled life. Note that North America was at the equator at this time, and rotated 90 degrees clockwise relative to its position today. The paleogeography of the Ordovician in the west and middle parts of the U.S. were similar to that of the Cambrian, where a shallow inland sea existed. However, in the east (Appalachian region), the first of the three Paleozoic orogenies of the east coast occurred, the Taconic Orogeny, which produced a very large mountain range along the eastern margin of North America - this was the location of the active plate boundary for the rest of the Paleozoic. The paleogeography of the Silurian continued the a) active plate boundary along the east coast (note the trench location), and b) the shallow inland sea nature of the middle and western parts of the U.S. Note how North America has now rotated CCW about 45 degrees since the Cambrian, but that it is still located on the equator.

   http://www.trilobites.info/trilopaleogeo.htm
   
   Extractions: Biogeography involves the mapping and study of the patterns of distribution of organisms within and between the world's regions. The biogeography of plants and animals reflects their ecological requirements and the habitat niches they occupy. Some species are widespread, while others are restricted to certain regions of the globe. Paleogeography offers some of the same approach, but must take into account the fact of plate tectonics, and the changing of continental and ocean basin patterns over the course of hundreds of millions of years. The paleogeography of trilobites is particularly important because they were extremely diverse, were distributed all over the globe, and offer much insight on paleoenvironments and biostratigraphy Trilobites occupied marine environments from tropical equatorial to polar paleolatitudes. Some families of trilobites were narrow in their requirements. For example, the family Bathyuridae (Proetida:Bathyuroidea) was found only in paleoequatorial regions. Trilobite marine niches ranged from intertidal and nearshore to deep continental slopes. Because there was very significant continental movement during the Paleozoic Era, with continents drifting apart, as well as converging and joining, the distribution and evolution of trilobites over the nearly 300 million years of their existence reflects a complex paleogeography. For example, the locations of two famous trilobite-bearing sites Burgess Shale (Canada) and

    http://www.geo.arizona.edu/~rees/PGAPhome.html
    
    Extractions: We interpret paleogeography broadly to include all aspects of map reconstruction from paleo-continental orientations and tectonic considerations to the delineation of past topographic or bathymetric contours and the compilation of lithofacies data. In addition we use the reconstructions as base information for studies of past fossil distributions, and for climatic or oceanographic patterns as determined from the fossils, the sediments and from computer modeling studies. Our team has worked since the plate tectonic paradigm was introduced to compile information mainly from the literature on all aspects of global paleogeography. Moreover, we have pioneered the application of computer technology to paleogeographic map-making. Successive paleogeographic maps often look very similar, just because continents move slowly in geologic time, mountains are uplifted gradually and shorelines generally do not advance or retreat significantly when viewed on a world scale. Animations are therefore necessary to bring out these subtle changes, and computer graphics are ideal for this purpose. Animations showing the general flow of the continental blocks through long intervals of geologic time are straightforward because the paleomagnetic information on the latitude and orientation of plates is reasonably well understood. Detailed paleogeographic maps, showing paleo-shorelines, and other paleogeographic contours are more problematic since depicting these accurately on closely spaced time steps is tedious and fraught with uncertainty. Nonetheless we have prepared a number of animations based on our detailed paleogeographic maps, and more are planned.

    Extractions: SWEAT and the Snowball Earth? Since Eldridge Moores (1991) proposed the "SWEAT" hypothesisthat Antarctica was the Neoproterozoic conjugate rift margin to western North Americamany continental reconstructions for Late Proterozoic time have been proposed (Hoffman, 1991; Kirschvink, 1992a; McKerrow et al., 1992; Dalziel, 1992; Dalziel et al., 1994). Some models (e.g., those by Hoffman and Dalziel) rely heavily on pre-existing tectonic units, such as the ~1-Ga "Grenvillian" orogenic belts, as "piercing points" between reconstructed continental margins. In addition, two unpaired passive margins of the same age (in this case Vendian-Cambrian) can be rejoined to a supposed pre-rift state. Unfortunately, the solutions to this problem are non-unique; if a Late Proterozoic supercontinent (Rodinia) existed as many now suspect, we should find many penecontemporaneous orogenic belts contributing to its formation and many similarly-aged passive margins resulting from its demise. Paleomagnetism and geochronometry of Neoproterozoic rocks can position the continents to within about +/-5° latitude and +/-10 Ma. Many rocks of this age seem well enough preserved to retain primary magnetization. At present, however, most Precambrian paleomagnetic studies have not proven that magnetizations are primary, i.e., the same age as the rock; and some Late Proterozoic continental blocks (e.g., Rio de la Plata craton) have not been sampled at all (Van der Voo, 1993). Broadening the paleomagnetic database with "anchor" paleopoles from various cratons is now the most efficient step toward reconstructing the Neoproterozoic world.

    PreHistory + paleogeography + Archaeology Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages A collection of findings from Archaeology, Geology and other scientific endeavor.  
    http://www.rootsweb.com/~irlkik/ihm/neolithic.htm
    
    Extractions: The Neolithic, or New Stone Age, period has been cited from about 4000 to 2500 BC. The general pattern of carbon-14 dating determinations suggests that the Neolithic Period in Ireland began about 3000 bc (uncalibrated radiocarbon years). Neolithic migrant men and women were Ireland's first farmers who raised animals and cultivated the soil. A major production and use of Irish Stone Axes is noted during Neoloithic times. Stone axes are however known to have been in use from the earliest known phase of human settlement in the Early Mesolithic Period (c. 7000 BC). Over 20,000 axes have been found. The earliest Neolithic pottery found in Ulster (Lyles Hill pottery) is similar to pottery found in northern Britain, suggesting that some of the earliest Neolithic colonists may have come to Ireland from northern Britain.
