- W1874262011 abstract "Plate tectonic reconstructions for the Cretaceous have assumed that the majorcontinental blocks—Eurasia, Greenland, North America, South America, Africa, India,Australia, and Antarctica—had separated from one another by the end of the EarlyCretaceous, and that deep ocean passages connected the Pacific, Tethyan, Atlantic, andIndian Ocean basins. North America, Eurasia, and Africa were crossed by shallowmeridional seaways. This classic view of Cretaceous paleogeography may be incorrect.The revised view of the Early Cretaceous is one of three large continental blocks—North America–Eurasia, South America–Antarctica-India-Madagascar-Australia;and Africa—with large contiguous land areas surrounded by shallow epicontinentalseas. There was a large open Pacific basin, a wide eastern Tethys, and a circum-African Seaway extending from the western Tethys (“Mediterranean”) regionthrough the North and South Atlantic into the juvenile Indian Ocean betweenMadagascar-India and Africa. During the Early Cretaceous the deep passage fromthe Central Atlantic to the Pacific was blocked by blocks of northern Central Americaand by the Caribbean plate. There were no deep-water passages to the Arctic. Untilthe Late Cretaceous the Atlantic-Indian Ocean complex was a long, narrow, sinuousocean basin extending off the Tethys and around Africa.Deep passages connecting the western Tethys with the Central Atlantic, theCentral Atlantic with the Pacific, and the South Atlantic with the developing IndianOcean appeared in the Late Cretaceous. There were many island land areas surroundedby shallow epicontinental seas at high sea-level stands." @default.
