Abstract
Demonstrates that geographic relationships and temperature facies of Paleocene-Eocene marine benthonic faunas do not reflect the distributional changes which would have resulted from a shift in the position of the North Pole or from migration of continental masses during the early Tertiary and concludes that continental drift, at least in the sense of Wegener and Du Toit, has not occurred since late Cretaceous time.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
