Plate Tectonics

Circa 260 Million BCE

By dating rocks and fossils scientists can document the movement of the continents over time. 

To confirm and refine this science, geologists study rocks, paleontologists study fossils, and anthropologists study human societies, cultures, and relics. The location and dating of rocks, fossils, and relics allow us to understand the distant past.

  • Cynognathus, circa 242 million BCE
  • Lystrosaurus, circa 250 million BCE
  • Glossopteris, circa 275 million BCE
  • Mesosaurus, circa 285 million BCE


That History Story, 

was first published on TST 5 years ago.

The flashcard inspired by it is this.

All this is part of the broader TST project.
Each tidbit carries its own links and academic citations, allowing claims to be traced back to their original sources without overloading longer essays.
Rather than chasing completeness, each piece aims for clarity at the time it is written.

The end!
