Trial by fire: Testing the paleolongitude of Pangea of competing reference frames with the African LLSVP

Trial by fire: Testing the paleolongitude of Pangea of competing reference frames with the African LLSVP

Paleogeography can be reconstructed using various crust- or mantle-based reference frames that make fundamentally different assumptions. The various reconstruction models differ significantly in continental paleolongitude, but it has been difficult to assess which models are more valid. We suggest h...
