Phanerozoic Faunal and Floral Realms of the Earth: The Intercalary Relations of the Malvinokaffric and Gondwana Faunal Realms with the Tethyan Faunal Realm (GSA Memoirs 189)

Combines field work with information from a wide range of geological sciences to illustrate the discrepancy between biogeographical evidence and the plate boundaries proposed by most geophysicists and geologists. Encompasses the early Paleozoic to the Mesozoic worldwide, emphasizing the broad geographical or intercalary zone that separates the middle Paleozoic Malvinokaffric Realm from the warm realms of northern origin.
