Show HN: Plot modern addresses on Earth 240M years ago
Hi HN, I built this by adapting GPlates (https://www.gplates.org), 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.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.The visualization itself is open source, though I have not yet cleaned up and pushed the plate tectonics integration (working on that right now): https://github.com/typpo/ancient-earth
