Late cretaceous true polar wander: not so fast.

Using recalculated paleopoles from seamount anomaly modeling (SAM), Sager and Koppers (1) proposed an episode of rapid Late Cretaceous true polar wander (TPW). A critical review of the data used, however, suggests that Sager and Koppers have underestimated the effects that errors and data selection have on inferences of TPW and that they may not have adequately taken into account alternative ex...

Magnetization in the South Pole-Aitken basin: Implications for the lunar dynamo and true polar wander

A number of magnetic anomalies are present along the northern edge of the lunar South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin. A variety of hypotheses for their formation have been proposed, but an in-depth study of their properties has not been performed. Here we use two different methods to invert for their source body characteristics: one that completely searches a small parameter space of less than ten uni...

Climatic and tectonic controls on Jurassic intra-arc basins related to northward drift of North America

Upper Jurassic strike-slip intra-arc basins formed along the axis of earlier Lower to Middle Jurassic extensional intra-arc basins in Arizona. These strike-slip basins developed along the Sawmill Canyon fault zone, which may represent an inboard strand of the Mojave-Sonora megashear system that did not necessarily produce large-scale translations. Subsidence in the Lower to Middle Jurassic exte...

True polar wander and supercontinents

I present a general model for true polar wander (TPW), in the context of supercontinents and simple modes of mantle convection. Old, mantle-stationary supercontinents shield their underlying mesosphere from the cooling effects of subduction, and an axis of mantle upwelling is established that is complementary to the downwelling girdle of subduction zones encircling the old supercontinent. The u...
