The study of magnetism in rocks provides the most precise quantitative evidence for defining the movement of continents and their associated plates. Here Piper (earth sciences, U. of Liverpool) gives data listed by plate and in order of decreasing geologic age. Worldwide results are included from the earliest studies up to mid-1987. Acidic paper.

Palaeomagnetic Database
by J. D. A. Piper
Provides an in-depth analysis of global paleomagnetic results from the earliest studies right up to mid 1987. Reconstructing the movements of each plate over geological time, then developing corresponding paleography of the past requires a time sequence of paleomagnetic poles for each of the tectonic divisions comprising the total crustal area. This database presents
Overview
Provides an in-depth analysis of global paleomagnetic results from the earliest studies right up to mid 1987. Reconstructing the movements of each plate over geological time, then developing corresponding paleography of the past requires a time sequence of paleomagnetic poles for each of the tectonic divisions comprising the total crustal area. This database presents worldwide paleomagnetic information in just such a form with data listed plate by plate, in order of decreasing geologic age.
