Show HN: Plot modern addresses on Earth 240M years ago
Hi HN, I built this by adapting GPlates (<a href="https://www.gplates.org" rel="nofollow">https://www.gplates.org</a>), an academic project providing desktop software for geologists to investigate plate tectonic data.  I'm amazed that geologists collected enough data to actually plot my home 750M years ago, so I thought you all would enjoy it too.<p>Even though plate tectonic models return precise results, you should consider the plots approximate (obviously we will never be able to prove correctness).  In my tests I found that model results can vary significantly.  I chose this particular model because it is widely cited and covers the greatest length of time.<p>The visualization itself is open source, though I have not yet cleaned up and pushed the plate tectonics integration (working on that right now): <a href="https://github.com/typpo/ancient-earth" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/typpo/ancient-earth</a>
