Re: Mesozoic Paleogeographic Placenames

[Fabio Dalla Vecchia <fabdalla@tin.it>]

If you need paleogeographic details about the regions in and around the 
Tethys Ocean (OK, it is not in your request and probably you do not care 
about it), you should look at the following maps and explanatory notes. They 
are not perfect, but they based on actual data.



Dercourt, J., L. E. Ricou, and B. Vrielynck (eds.). 1993. Atlas Tethys 
Palaeoenvironmental Maps. 307 pp., and 14 maps. BEICIP-FRANLAB, 
Rueil-Malmaison, Gauthier-Villar, Paris.



Dercourt, J., M. Gaetani, B. Vrielynck, E. Barrier, B. Biju-Duval, M.F. 
Brunet, J. P. Cadet, S. Crasquin and M. Sandulescu (eds.). 2000. Atlas 
Peri-Tethys, Palaeogeographical Maps. Explanatory notes, I-XX + 269 pp., and 
24 maps. Paris: CCGM/CGMW.



Cheers
