From Texas to Antarctica

This slide presentation showcases the movement of tectonic plates from the Late Neoproterozoic era to the Late Carboniferous era, focusing on the connections between Texas, Antarctica, Africa, Laurentia, South America, and Baltica. The animation is shown in 10-million-year steps, with Texas remaining in the field of view. Explore the fascinating geological history of these regions.
