This study presents a new 1.8-billion-year full-plate tectonic model, integrating geological and paleomagnetic data to ...

This particular story takes place on the west coast of southern Pangea, specifically the region that would one day become the Ischigualasto Formation of Argentina, and concerns an animal that ...

Far beneath the ocean's surface, where mountain belts rise and ancient oceanic crust lies hidden, a long-lost tectonic plate ...

New Permian species, Yinshanosaurus angustus, found in China.

The Earth as we know it today is the result of billions of years of geological activity, where continents have shifted, collided, and broken apart over time. But what did Earth look like in its early ...

Our new study , featuring new fossil maps, shows that soon after lagerpetids appeared (in southern Pangaea), they spread across wide ... They include the Timezgadiouine beds of Morocco, the Guanling ...

One of the clearest expressions of this process lies in the Bighorn Basin, particularly at its northern end where the Chugwater Formation emerges. This distinct band of red intersects Bighorn ...

This process would continue unabated until the modern-day with the formation of the modern continents and the Atlantic and Indian oceans as a consequence of this event. Pangea’s existence was ...

Extraordinary heat from a future supercontinent formation could lead to a mass extinction of mammals, including humans, in about 250 million years, according to a study led by the University of ...

The formation of Pangaea Ultima will also trigger increased volcanic activity. As tectonic plates collide, magma will surge through the cracks, releasing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the ...

What Will Make Pangaea Ultima So Dangerous? Unlike past supercontinents, which supported thriving ecosystems, Pangaea Ultima will create an environmental catastrophe. The simulation highlights three ...
