Prof finds new SA-Uruguay link

Tisha Steyn

Cape Town - A Stellenbosch professor has put another piece in the puzzle to prove that, long ago, South Africa and South America were part of one massive landmass.

Professor Reyno Scheepers of the geology department has found rocks at the Postberg nature reserve near Saldanha Bay that are similar to rocks found in Uruguay.

This landmass, which consisted of South Africa, South America, Antarctica, Australia, New Zealand and India, was known as Gondwana, and Scheepers linked 515 Ma old volcanic rocks now occurring on the African and South American continents.
