Gondwanaland, Palaeomagnetism and Continental Drift

Nature volume 229, pages 17–21 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

A reconstruction of Gondwanaland linking India, Australia and Antarctica and fitting these against Africa is compared with some geological and geophysical observations and also with the recent reassembly proposed by Smith and Hallam. The probable history of the disintegration and movement of the northern and southern continents into their present configuration is assessed against the available palaeomagnetic data.
