DEFINITION OF LAURASIA

The northern continents of North America and

Eurasia, that existed north of the Tethys Ocean in Alex du

Toit’s alternate reconstruction of Alfred Wegener’s Pangea.

Du Toit argued that Pangea was not a single simple supercontinent

but for much of the Paleozoic consisted of the northern

Laurasian landmass, joined in the west, and separated by the

Tethys Ocean from the southern continents of Gondwana.
