Paleozoic Basemaps (Paleoceanographic Mapping Project Report No. 03-0984)

This report briefly describes the set of Paleozoic reconstructions that were produced during the summer of 1984 while I was a visiting scientist at the British Petroleum Research Centre in Sunbury, England. These maps represent a revision of the Paleozoic basemaps that appeared in Scotese et al. (1979) and Scotese (1984). The following section describes the major differences between these maps and the previous reconstructions and reviews the remaining problem areas. The rotation parameters used to produce the maps are listed in a separate appendix.UT Institute for Geophysics Paleoceanographic Mapping Project (POMP)Institute for Geophysic
