Goal of the PALEOMAP Project
 | The goal of the PALEOMAP Project is to illustrate the plate tectonic development of
the ocean basins and continents, as well as the changing distribution of land and sea
during the past 1100 million years.
|
| In the Earth History section of this website are
full-color paleogeographic maps showing the ancient mountain ranges and shorelines, active
plate boundaries, and the extent of paleoclimatic belts.

| 3D
Paleogeographic Animations. A sample of the new 3D
topographic and bathymetric models that can be visualized as stunning
3D globes. 3D Animations of the Latest
Cretaceous, Cretaceous, Early Permian. and the
Middle Devonian.

| In the Methods section, find out
how these paleogeographic maps were made, what the scientific basis for the maps are, and
what software was used to produce the maps.
|
| The Atlas has been 30 years in the making. In the History of the Atlas section describes the who, when,
what and
where that went into producing the Paleogeographic Atlas. A list of Key References is also provided.
