Description

"History with Wholehog" To give you a better understanding of what I have tried to convey in this image I included a bit of text from the Berkeley University web site about the geological timeline of the Earth's history. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Paleozoic Era 543 to 248 Million Years Ago The Paleozoic took up over half of the Phanerozoic, approximately 300 million years. During the Paleozoic there were six major continental land masses; each of these consisted of different parts of the modern continents. For instance, at the beginning of the Paleozoic, today's western coast of North America ran east-west along the equator, while Africa was at the South Pole. These Paleozoic continents experienced tremendous mountain building along their margins, and numerous incursions and retreats of shallow seas across their interiors. The Paleozoic Era is bracketed by the times of global super-continents. The Cambrian opened with the breakup of the world-continent "Rodinia" and closed with the formation of "Pangea", as the Earth's continents came together once again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So ends Wholehog's history lesson ;) Hopefully I've managed to capture the essence of Rodinia.
