“…In light of Gondwanan origin of Crocinae in the Early Cretaceous, it is intriguing to consider the palaeofaunal relevance of the Burmese amber crocine. The mines of Burmese amber are on the West Burma Block (Cruickshank & Ko, ; Metcalfe, ), which was originally attached to Gondwana (Heine & Müller, ; Seton et al ., ). The West Burma Block was proposed to have initiated rifting from the northwestern margin of Australia in the Late Jurassic (∼156 Ma) to reach its present location in Southeast Asia in the Late Cretaceous (∼80 Ma) (Heine & Müller, ; Seton et al ., ).…”

“…The Sibumasu Terrane is bounded by the N-S-striking Sagaing Fault and Mogok metamorphic belt to the west (Figure 1; Aung, 2009;Burrett et al, 2014;Metcalfe, 2011;Gardiner, Searle, Robb, & Morley, 2015;Morley, 2012;Sone & Metcalfe, 2008) and by the Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai Suture to the east (A. H. G. Mitchell, 1977;Metcalfe, 2017;Ridd, 2016). It is thought to have been part of the Gondwana supercontinent before the middle Early Permian (Ali et al, 2013;Burrett et al, 2014;Burrett, Long, & Stait, 1990;H.…”

“…A line of geological evidence shows that the Sibumasu Terrane was rifted from the western Australian margin of Gondwana (Metcalfe & Aung, 2014;Metcalfe, 2017). The faunas and floras of the Sibumasu Terrane are identical to those of Australia (Metcalfe, 2011).…”

“…Mainland Southeast Asia (with Sundaland at its core) (Metcalfe, , , ) is composed of a complex assembly of continental blocks, arc terranes, and suture zones. There are two major tectonic blocks in Thailand and surrounding regions.…”
