Finding Argoland: how a lost continent resurfaced. Reconstruction and subsequent drift.

What happened to Argoland? Geologists have long known that around 155 million years ago, a 5000 km long piece of continent broke off western Australia and drifted away. It must have drifted off to the northwest, and must have ended up where the islands of Southeast Asia are located today. But surprisingly, there is no large continent hidden beneath those islands. Now geologists at Utrecht University have managed to reconstruct the history of the lost continent. As it turns out, Argoland is in fragments, but is still there. More info:
