Earth:Pan-African Ocean
From HandWiki
Short description: Hypothesized paleo-ocean whose closure created the supercontinent of Pannotia
The Pan-African Ocean is a hypothesized paleo-ocean whose closure created the supercontinent of Pannotia.[1] The ocean may have existed before the break-up of the supercontinent of Rodinia.[2] The ocean closed before the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon, when the Panthalassa ocean expanded, and was eventually replaced by it.
