Abstract: A l f r e d W e g e n e r (1922) hat in seinem Bach ,,Die Entstehung der Kontinente and Ozeane" yon A r l d t eine Abstimmung iibernommen, die dieser Aator aus den Arbeiten yon 20 Forschern konstruiert hat fiber die Frage ob, wo and wann zwischen jetzt durch Ozeane getrennten Kontinenten in friiheren Epochen Festlandsverbindungen bestanden haben (S. 51).Es ist charakteristiseh, daft W e g e n e r dies Verfahren Arld~s als einen .gliicklichen Gedanken" bezeichnet, im n~chsten Satz aber schon zugeben mug, daft e… Show more

“…Fossil assemblages are still very useful in inferring connections between continents, e.g. , juxtaposition of South America and western Africa in the late Paleozoic–Mesozoic ( Cisneros et al , 2015 ; Colosi, 1925 ; de Beaufort, 1925 ; Eckhardt, 1922 ; Modesto, 2006 ; Trewick, 2017 ; von Ubisch, 1921 ; von Ubisch, 1928 ) or a connection of northern Norway with northwestern Russia in the Ediacaran–Cambrian ( Desiatkin et al , 2021 ; Högström et al , 2013 ; Jensen et al , 2018 ; Kolesnikov, 2019 ; Kolesnikov & Desiatkin, 2022 ), but the present study shows that the use of paleontological markers to infer disconnection between continents should be considered with care. In the present case, the Svalbard Archipelago was accreted to Baltica and to Laurentia in the latest Neoproterozoic during the Timanian Orogeny ( Koehl, 2020 ; Koehl et al , 2022a ).…”

“…Paleontological constraints have been extensively used in plate tectonics reconstructions over the past 100 years, e.g. , von Ubisch ( 1921 , 1928 ), Eckhardt (1922) , Colosi (1925) , and de Beaufort (1925) who were some of the first scientists to use paleontological records of South America and western Africa to support Wegener’s Continental Drift theory ( Wegener, 1929 ). It is now widely accepted that South America was juxtaposed to western Africa in the late Paleozoic–Mesozoic, forming part of the supercontinent named Pangea and, thus, explaining similar paleontological records in upper Paleozoic–Mesozoic sedimentary rocks on both continents ( e.g.…”
