"The earliest unequivocal dinosaur fossils appear in the Carnian (∼230 Ma) of southern South America and Africa, leading most authors to propose southwestern Gondwana as the likely center of origin. [...] Our results suggest that the archosaur radiation also took place within low-latitude Gondwana following the end-Permian extinction before lineages dispersed across Pangaea [...]"

A newly described early-middle Permian gorgonopsian from Mallorca, the oldest member of this clade known so far, shows that therapsids likely evolved in paleoequatorial Pangaea!

Nově popsaný mallorcský gorgonopsián ze začátku středního permu, nejstarší dosud známý zástupce tohoto kladu, ukazuje, že therapsidi se pravděpodobně vyvinuli na paleorovníkové Pangaeai!

Interesting facts #198 ~ Pangaea: Earth’s ancient supercontinent…

Pangaea was a massive supercontinent that formed between 320 million and 195 million years ago. At that time, Earth didn't have seven continents, but instead one giant one surrounded by a single ocean called Panthalassa...

It’s a #SilentSunday so why not listen to #milesdavis playing #crazy #jazz #fusion with his band on the #amazing #pangaea last.fm/music/Miles+Davis/Pang

Last.fmPangaea — Miles Davis | Last.fmListen free to Miles Davis – Pangaea (Zimbabwe, Gondwana). 2 tracks (). Pangaea is one of two live albums recorded on February 1, 1975 at the Osaka Festival Hall in Japan by Miles Davis and his accompanying band. Pangaea consists of two 40 minute group improvisations entitled, "Zimbabwe" and, "Gondwana". These pieces titles come from the names of the ancient super continents of early Earth. The album, for the most, part is led by Pete Cosey (Electric Guitar), Michael Henderson (Electric Bass), and Al Foster (Drums), who create the majority of the aural experience. Miles usually tinges the grooves with Trumpet- Wah, or with an Organ, but he does have some solos throughout the two pieces. … Discover more music, concerts, videos, and pictures with the largest catalogue online at Last.fm.

Nice overview here. I’m particularly pleased that they acknowledge the uncertainty about what #supercontinent will form next: too many stories present one of the possibilities (usually #Pangaea #Ultima) as a near-certainty. We know for sure that there is at least one more supercontinent in #Earth’s future, and probably more, before plate #tectonics stop entirely in a billion years or so. Everything else is informed speculation at best. All this has happened before …

When we think of mountain ranges, we don't usually think of them for what they really are, geological formations that can span the entire planet. However, that's exactly what this map depicts. It shows how the Appalachian mountains in the U.S. actually connect with the Scottish Highlands, the hills of Ireland, Scandinavian Mountains, the east side of Greenland and the Atlas Mountains. When all of these places were once joined together, these ranges formed the Central Pangean Mountains millions of years ago.
