Paleocontinental reconstructions

Paleomap project files

These are Paleomap project raw files. These files are all 71x35 (when you remove the outside border) and range in latitude for 85 deg. N to 85 deg. S and in longitude from 175 deg. W to 175 deg. E. The resolution is 5 deg. in both directions. The files are coded such that 1 = ocean points, 2 = the limit of the continental margin, 3 = the limit of land at sea level, and 8 = the 1 km topography contour.
