didn't appreciate what the name Gondwana meant. Interesting. Obviously wasn't paying much attention during paleogeography class. I heard that India and Madagascar where one of the first chunks of land to break away but maybe that was just in the south. Madagascar being the oldest isolated habitat gave it more time to come up with the 90 or so different species of Lemur.
Glad you enjoyed it Duke! I reckon there are near twenty countries in this lot. As for Pangaea...didn't the north come off first? I think it just broke in two leaving Gondwana and Laurasia.....(http://www.gondwanarecords.com/ - Matthew Halsall's label)
very enjoyable afternoon listening. Two questions. How many different countries does this musical jaunt take in and what are they? What were the first two islands to breakaway from the 'mother' continent (clue - one of them isn't an island now?
