Prot_PALEOMAP: Palaeogeographic reconstruction grid

Prot_PALEOMAPR Documentation

Palaeogeographic reconstruction grid

Description

Palaeogeographic coordinates of a 1º x 1º spatial grid rotated to the midpoints of stratigraphic stages throughout the Phanerozoic (0–540 Ma). Midpoint ages are based on the Geological Timescale 2020 and https://stratigraphy.org/timescale/.

Usage

data("Prot_PALEOMAP")

Format

A matrix with 64800 rows and 198 columns:

lng

Centroid longitudes of a 1º x 1º spatial grid

lat

Centroid latitudes of a 1º x 1º spatial grid

lng_X

Centroid palaeolongitudes of a 1º x 1º spatial grid reconstructed to X time interval.

lat_X

Centroid palaeolatitudes of a 1º x 1º spatial grid reconstructed to X time interval.
