>> No reason why they shouldn't fit together…all they've been doing is moving apart since the split, with a certain amount of erosion. Actually, the edges of the continental shelves (under water) of the continents are a better fit than the shorelines.<< I am modeling on a globe that shows the basins….and it all fits not just along the atlantic..the antarctica and australian pieces fit great also. >> The "additional coast" I was talking about was added mostly onto the surface of the continental shelf, and on the coastal plains (inland of the shoreface). << Yea I got that…the coastal areas with deep slough deposits on top.
