#Hakea belongs to the ancient plant family #Proteaceae, which split into two subfamilies, #Grevilleoideae in #Australia and #Proteoideae in #southafrica before the separation of the #Gondwanaland continent around 140 million years ago.

A narrow, medium shrub up to 2.5 metres high by about a 1-metre spread. The stem-clasping leaves are stiff, concave, about 200 mm long and 120 mm wide and variegated in a range of colours from cream, yellow, orange and red, changing colour with the seasons. The leaves have prickly teeth around the margins. The inconspicuous flowers are creamy-white or yellow and occur in the leaf axils in spring Western Australia.

map - Models of the Capricorn Plate and associated Mid-Indian deformation zone.

map - Magnetic anomaly map of southern Africa overlaying topographic relief. The WDMAM_V2 magnetic model has a pixel size of 1.5 minutes, which is approximately 2.8 km at the equator. The model is created from shiptrack, airborne and satellite datasets resulting in variable resolution that is evident in this image and affects the accuracy of province boundaries.

maps - map of the last orogenic event to affect a province. The colors are approximately related to the age of the orogenic event. The points show locations of observed and estimated metamorphic ages

https://www.scinexx.de/dossier/gondwanaland/

scinexx | Das WissensmagazinGondwanalandFast alle Landmassen der Südhalbkugel gehen auf ihn zurück: den Superkontinent Gondwana. Ihm verdanken sie eine einzigartige Lebenswelt, aber auch wertvolle Rohstoffe. Doch wie wurde sein Erbe entdeckt? Warum wurde „Gondwanaland“ zum Mythos? Und was hat Indien mit Gondwana zu tun? Als der urzeitliche Superkontinent Gondwana zerbrach, entstanden Afrika, Südamerika, Australien, die Antarktis und weitere […]

The linear ridges running north-northeast (Colville to the west and Kermadec to the east, separated by the Havre Trough and Lau Basin) and southwest (the Resolution Ridge System) away from New Zealand are not considered part of Zealandia, nor are Australia (left), Vanuatu, or Fiji (top centre).

#Trilobites of #Thailand's #Cambrian–#Ordovician Tarutao Group and their geological setting https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/spp2.1516

"During the trilobites' lifetime, this region was on the outer margins of #Gondwanaland, an ancient #supercontinent that included Africa, India, Australia, South America, and Antarctica."
