Paleocene Paleogeographic Map
The global paleogeographic reconstruction for the Paleocene has been prepared by Balukhovsky et al. (2004). This map was constructed using the techniques involved in producing the Paleozoic and Mesozoic-Cenozoic Atlases of Lithological-Paleogeographic Maps of the World (Ronov et al., 1984 ...

Direction of Changing Magnetic Poles based on Basalt Samples in Japan
The figure shows the varying directions the magnetic pole has taken based on basalt samples in Japan. The samples span over a time period that begins in the early Quaternary and ends in the Tertiary. Using the locations on the graph and their respective time periods, it can be seen that th ...

High resolution 40Ar/39Ar ages for the Tokelau seamount trail: sample AVON2-57-1
Groundmass and biotite 40Ar/39Ar ages for the small Ufiata seamount in the Tokelau seamount trail in the Southwest Pacific basin. Sample AVON2-57-1 is sampled at 3152-2056 m depth. This upload contains the ArArCALC v2.4 age calculation file and the same file in the Microsoft Excel 2000 format.

Paleolatitude Data From Ocean Drilling Project Leg 197
This diagram show the age and location of sediments taken from various seamounts in the Hawaiian-Emperor Chain during leg 197 of an Ocean Drilling Project (ODP) expedition. The age is determined by paleomagnetic anomalies. It is shown that there were periods of simultaneous eruptions occurrin ...

Paleolatitude Values For Seamounts
This image shows the average paleolatitude value for Detroit Seamount derived from magnetic anomalies within the basaltic rock. Several trajectories are also shows which represent different combinations of plate and hotspot motion. The red line is a least squares fit to the data.
