The Earth at various epochs. Somewhat cool. Australia becomes very recognisable around 120 million years ago.

That’s the best I’ve ever seen, though I would have preferred it without the clouds. I wouldn’t vouch for its accuracy for Australia, but it may be right.

Very annoying that it doesn’t continue the timeline to give 20, 35, 50 million years into the future.

Moll, you can turn the clouds off. Up in the top right corner.

Ta. I particularly like that they keep the current outlines of continents in the older times. Australia 280 million years ago is so familiar that it almost makes me homesick.

Ha – low.

750 million years ago has Australia on twice, half a world away from each other. One just for land on the Great Australian Bight. The other for the West Australian precambrian shield. Does that look right to you, Michael V?
