While it’s a cool map, it would have been more accurate to leave out some countries, like Panama, Costa Rica, and Iceland, that were never parts of Pangaea but originated volcanically afterward.
Likewise, most of western North America including Alaska wasn’t part of Pangaea, but originated in oceanic exotic terranes that got smooshed onto the continent as it drifted westward.
not include the Great Lakes 175 million years early.
Arkansas is where Arkansas is now. Our politics and culture hasn’t changed much either. 
I want one of those for Gondwana/Laurasia, and for Rodinia.
Left coast. Nothing but the wine-dark ocean.
Map doesn’t show the Bering Strait land bridge. I guess that came later.

As I mentioned, Alaska didn’t exist at the time Pangaea broke up. When Laurasia split up due to the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean, North America moved west and Eurasia moved east until their opposite ends collided to form Beringia.
I’m on Long Island, so it looks like if the Azores didn’t get in the way, I’d be right next to that interesting spot where the map isn’t sure if the southern half of Morocco still counts as Morocco or not.
On the original link, things are a little confusing. It’s not clear what I should call Pangaea because even when everything is smooshed together, there’s so much variety in flooding.
Cuba is closest, and still a straight line across water, but it couldn’t be called the Gulf of Mexico. Lake Texas?
It would be a much shorter paddle in my kayak than it is now
The map has Scotland being next to Iceland, though as Colibri mentions Iceland didn’t exist at the time of Pangaea, so Greenland would be the real answer. Scotland was for most of its geological history on the edge of Laurentia, which is now roughly the North American continent. It only joined with England when Pangaea was formed, and split with North America when the Atlantic rift formed much later.
On the other side, Scotland is pressed up against Norway. The North Sea rift opened up at the same time as the Atlantic one.
The Azores are volcanic outcrops of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, whose landmasses arose from mantle magma plumes, geologically far younger than Pangaea. Gross anachronism.
The name is Western Sahara. Morocco’s occupation and rule of the territory is not internationally recognized. Morocco was even expelled from the Arab League for pulling that land grab. Spain decolonized it in a hurry as soon as Franco died and Morocco opportunistically grabbed it in a hurry while he was still dead.
Polloi kudoi to Colibri for all the geological goodness contributed to this thread! 
The Pacific world gets overlooked while the focus is on Pangaea, but Colibri has filled in the remarkable geological activity of Pacific terranes on North America.
For an account of how western North America was constructed, I would highly recommend John McPhee’s Assembling California. I also recommend the McPhee’s compilation of other books on North American geology, Annals of the Former World.
I’m near Spain/Portugal.
I like finding the spots where 3 continents meet.

Here is a video on what you were just talking about: Plate Tectonic Evolution of North America. It shows Pacific terranes accreting.

The first time I tried this, it looked like the Washington DC area was Mauritania’s neighbor. On the second version, DC turned up next to Western Sahara. In this version, the article talks about DC next to Mauritania again. Anyhow, it’s got to be close to the border between the two countries.
Well, this video shows the island (that I was asking about a decade ago) northwest of southern California turns in British Columbia. Cool that the old links are still working.
As near as I can tell, southern Greenland. I am assuming that the latitude lines are at 30 and 60 degrees, north and south. Montreal is about half a degree north of 45.
