*Numerical age estimates based on chronostratigraphy (sediments) or radiometric dating (igneous rocks). Pole ages shown in Fig. 9 of the paper are taken as the median of the age ranges reported in this Table. The ranges provide an indication of possible level of uncertainties in the assigned age. Pole selection modified after Domeier et al. (2012). †Values recalculated from data reported by Nawrocki et al. (2003). Shading delineates Triassic series: dark grey- Lower Triassic, medium grey- Middle Triassic, light grey- Upper Triassic. Time scale after IUGS (August, 2012).
