Description
We offer several paleogeographic hemisphere time periods for our Earth History Pangaea 18inch globes. The maps were produced by Christopher R. Scotese. During early time periods the Panthalassa Ocean covered half of earth. So we suggest buying two hemispheres to show together as a globe or separately. Since early Earth was 50% Panthallassic ocean, Dual Pangaea shows on two hemispheres, so viewers can see the land movements.
Time periods now available on hemisphere maps:
Triassic
Triassic Political
Jurassic
Cretaceous
Mississippian
We offer the hemispheres separately which can be mounted on wall or used on tabletop. For wall mounting, we provide mounting hooks.
Examples: One of our photos shows preparation for Vertebrate Paleontology meeting (www.vertpaleo.org) in Brisbane, Australia. Three Pangaea hemispheres were featured, three Dual Pangaea globes plus Seafloor Anomaly and Geology Globe of the World.
Panthalassa, also known as the Panthalassic Ocean or Panthalassan Ocean, was the superocean that surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea. During the Paleozoic–Mesozoic transition c. 250 Ma it occupied almost 70% of Earth’s surface.
There are 4 Mezosoic Era maps:
Triassic 230 Ma, Jurassic 190 Ma, Cretaceous 140 Ma and the Western Interior Seaway, 90 Ma.
There are 4 Paleozoic maps:
Permian 300 Ma, Missippian 325 Ma, plus Devonian 390 Ma, Ordovician 470 Ma.
There is the Political Pangaea (Triassic), which shows approximate locations for modern countries during that time period and is a good learning tool
By the time of the KT Boundary event 66 Ma, the tectonic plates had moved far enough apart, so you can buy a KT Boundary Globe.
