Competition Result!

We are delighted to announce the winner of our recent competition: Eric DeBlackmere of Tennessee, USA. 
Eric correctly answered our competition question...

                   200 million years ago the country of France was part of a much larger continental landmass.
                                                     What is the name of that ancient landmass?


...by identifying the ancient landmass as Laurasia.

Laurasia and its southern hemisphere equivalent, Gondwanaland had fragmented from the super-continent of Pangaea through plate tectonic actions.  We describe this within our book.

A signed copy of our latest book: The Limousin Asteroid Impact of the Triassic Rhaetian Age, is on its way to Eric.
Nous sommes ravis d'annoncer le gagnant de notre concours: Eric DeBlackmere de Tennessee, Etats-Unis
Eric a r
épondu avec la bonne réponse à la question...

            Il y a 2 millions d'années le pays de la France appartenait à une  plus grande masse terrestre.
                                                              Quel est le nom de ce bloc continental?

...en identifiant la masse terrestre ancienne comme Laurasia.  Eric recevra un exemplaire signé de notre dernier livre, The Limousin Asteroid Impact of the Triassic Rhaetian Age
