Each of the following pages shows 2 global hemisphere views one centered on North America and the other centered on the Tethys-Indian Ocean region. A global mollewide projection with labels and 1st-order tectonic elements shows the whole Earth for the time period indicated.

The general plate data are from PGISMac, a plate tectonic presentation program from Malcom Ross and Chris Scotese. The paleogeographic interpretations are compiled from many sources
Older, lower-resolution maps of Europe, Asia, North Atlantic, and global spheres. Many of these maps will be replaced by new maps in the future
