The inferred positions of global paleoshorelines through the 240
million years of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic are presented within
this atlas. Thirty-one maps, generally corresponding to
stratigraphic stages, provide a snapshot of the continents and
their shorelines at approximately 8 million year intervals. The
maps provide a representation of the gross changes in the
distribution of land and sea throughout the Mesozoic and Cenozoic
plotted on Mollweide projections of paleocontinental
reconstruction. They do not distinguish between well and poorly
defined shorelines, but the information sources are set out in a
bibliography numbering more than 2000 primary paleographic
references. This is a global compilation that presents the first
attempt at delineating global shorelines at stage level, and which
represents many years of work sponsored by British Petroleum
International (BPI), and work by BPI themselves between 1981 and
1987.
