...…between Africa, East Antarctica, and India initiates around 180 Ma and ceases with the onset of seafloor spreading around 148 Ma, while rifting between India, West Australia, and Antarctica is active from about 160 to 126 Ma (Figure 5); see Gibbons et al. (2013) for a summary of constraints....

...…of the NW Australian margin, representing the latest Jurassic rifting and subsequent seafloor spreading, is highlighted by the magnetic anomalies (Gibbons et al., 2013; Heine and Müller, 2005) and the reactivated structures on the continental shelf (Keep and Harrowfield, 2005) with a northeast–…...

...The Hall (2012) model uses motions of India and Australia based on the model of Royer and Sandwell (1989) that did not have the benefit of marine magnetic anomaly data collected over the last two decades, while our model is based on compilations of more modern data and re-interpretations of magnetic anomalies (Gibbons et al., 2013; Müller 5 et al., 2008) and the consideration of continental stretching and deformation during initial Australia-Antarctica rifting (Williams et al....
