Description
Summary:Dalziel characterizes the hypothesis of Harrison et al as being demonstrably incorrect and declares that they have major misconceptions about the geology of the Antarctic Peninsula and southern South America. Based on geologic evidence, Godoy and Mpodozis express misgivings concerning the sea floor spreading model of Harrison et al. Harrison et al reject all of these criticisms citing additional evidence supporting their position on a controversial reconstruction of Gondwanaland.
