Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with some actual (rather specific) reconstruction work. My research involves reconstructions of Gondwana in the Early Palaeozoic, but so far I haven’t been happy with the shape and positioning of Zealandia. Currently in my model it is effectively a series of broken-up solid polygons which sit awkwardly with the rest of the reconstruction, but I was wondering if anyone has had a go at producing a deforming mesh version of Zealandia showing the significant crustal stretching it experienced in the Cretaceous. The below figure from Mortimer et al. (2018) (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gr.2018.07.010) illustrates my point.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
