Jon >> I suspect your globe was on too small a scale for you to see how and why the continents aren't "perfect" fits anymore. << I first modeled on a small globe using the continents themselves and of course not the coastlines. I also added in the the fragments that have drifted and then transferd the shapes to Cad modeling program. The entire globe of continents fits together remarkably well if you use the real continental shapes and not the coastline shapes. They all fit together Remarkably well. The pacific rim marks the area where the continents are missing the rest of the crust. Kamron
