Like other blocks of the Cimmerian continent, the Baoshan block rifted from Gondwanaland. |
|
Then Gondwanaland itself split to form what we now know as South America, Africa and Madagascar. |
|
The range was formed in the extensional environment associated with the Mesozoic and Cenozoic breakup of Gondwanaland. |
|
In the Tertiary period, so the story goes, Gondwanaland finally split completely apart, and India collided with the Eurasian plate. |
|
The Leipzig Zoo wants to give its visitors the opportunity of following the progress of the construction work at the new Gondwanaland theme area. |
|
First it formed two supercontinents, Laurasia and Gondwanaland. |
|
Rocks of similar age are recorded from East Antarctica, Western Australia, India and Sri Lanka, suggesting that the Mashan Complex was most likely juxtaposed with these areas within Gondwanaland. |
|
Superposed horst and graben structures were identified, and are correlated to the formation of the Krishna-Godavari basin as a result of the rifting and drifting of India from Gondwanaland. |
|
The Late Mesoproterozoic Pinjarra Orogen in Western Australia is considered to have taken an important role for the assemblage of the Indian and Western Australian blocks to the Gondwanaland ensemble. |
|
Gondwanaland was the name given to the southern half of this landmass, the part that includes modern-day Africa, Australia, South America, Antarctica and India. |
|
Correlatives are known from Argentina, also in the center of the ancient supercontinent Gondwanaland. |
|
To the north of the Tethys, the then land mass was called Angaraland and to the south of it, it was called Gondwanaland. |
|
Some 200 million years ago Antarctica was joined to South America, Africa, India and Australia in a single large continent called Gondwanaland. |
|
The current theory poses that the ostrich's ancestor rafted on India when the supercontintent Gondwanaland broke apart. |
|
Several poems make mention of Livingstone and there is even reference to the geological history of Gondwanaland. |
|
Some 150 million years ago, a group of 116 granite islands floated free from ancient Gondwanaland to occupy a secluded niche in the western Indian Ocean. |
|
Gondwana, also called Gondwanaland, ancient supercontinent that incorporated present-day South America, Africa, Arabia, Madagascar, India, Australia, and Antarctica. |
|
While the Cimmerian continent was drifting northward, a new ocean, the Neo-Tethys, was opening behind it and north of the Gondwanaland supercontinent. |
|
The accretional history of North and South China blocks, and the microcontinents in-between, with their implications of the dispersion of Gondwanaland, was further brought out using geochronological information. |
|
Crustal magnetic studies on the Krishna-Godavari basin identified a rifting of the Dharwar and Bastar cratons within the Indian plate, prior to the rifting of India from Gondwanaland. |
|
|
As well as learning all about Gondwanaland at the information container, visitors to the zoo can now also get a real impression of the complex construction work. |
|
The islands broke away from Gondwanaland more than 80 million years ago, and for about 79,999,200 years after that, save for two species of bat, there were no mammals. |
|
When Australia broke away from Gondwanaland in the Cretaceous period, more than 110 million years ago, the centre of the continent was covered by a vast inland sea. |
