Ancient Earth for Android

I am a geologist who studies the history of the earth. Date from hundreds of sources are incorporated into these maps. For years the maps were only shared within the geoscience community and were rather expensive. To have them available in the public domain for such a low price is great.

If you want to see images from great distance of ice on earth you can probably get that for free on google. Not was to use and glitches back to Africa every time you tap.

I just discovered Dr Scotese's maps and was delighted to get the app so I could look at the movements at the poles. The time line is great and being able to lock onto a particular location or continent is very informative. The app only goes to 201 MYA! If you want the formation of Pangea from the Cambrian, you must buy another App. The app would have been rated 5. As it only provides a half the story, the rating is half.

There are other apps that are better and MUCH cheaper. Try Iapetus.

I was delighted to find this very clever app. For a couple years, I had been using the series of maps available on the PaleoMap Project online. This app has turned flat maps into a navigable globe. So much easier to use and to visualize and illustrate changes over the last 200 million years. Everyone I show this to wants one for themselves!
