Offers images of time slices of different ages of the Earth.
Announcement and description of an international workshop on a climatic, biotic, and tectonic transect, pole-to-pole, across the early Mesozoic supercontinent, June 1999. Updated regularly.
Data access and software for computing plate tectonic, paleomagnetism, marine gravity anomalies provided by the Istituto Tecnico Industriale E. Molinari, Milan.
Global paleogeography and paleoclimates, with emphasis on the Permian and Jurassic. Climate-sensitive sediment and fossil plant distributions are shown on detailed paleogeographic maps, enabling determinations of global paleoclimate patterns.
