Palaeogeographic Maps of SE Asia

Postulated general features of land and sea have been compiled onto maps [copyright 1998 Robert Hall] of the plate tectonic reconstructions showing 5 million year intervals between 30 and 5 Ma for the region of SE Asia.

The maps are colour versions of figures in: Hall, R. 1998. The plate tectonics of Cenozoic SE Asia and the distribution of land and sea. In Biogeography and Geological Evolution of SE Asia. pp. 99-131. Edited by R. Hall and J. D. Holloway. Backhuys Publishers, Leiden, Netherlands.
