The researchers have now “identified the Gondwana-derived blocks and mega-units of Southwest Borneo, Greater Paternoster, East Java, South Sulawesi, West Burma, and Mount Victoria Land as fragments that collectively may represent fragments of Argoland,” according to a study published this month in Gondwana Research.“The big thing is that we can now say that we know the amount of crust that was here, we know that it was really highly extended, and we can account for it in the geologic record that we find in Southeast Asia,” said Advokaat in a call with Motherboard. “We don't lose continents without a trace. We can still find them and that means that we can still make reasonably reliable reconstructions of what the Earth looked like back in the deep geological past.”
