Melting spots have relative motions of a few tens of millimetres per year over the last 38 My, so they do not form a fixed frame.
“Atwater & Molnar (1973) have demonstrated that relative motions between melting spots of a few tens of millimetres a year have occurred during the last 38 My.They therefore do not form a fixed frame.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
