Reconstructing seafloor age distributions in lost ocean basins

Reconstructions of past seafloor age make it possible to quantify how plate tectonic forces, surface heat flow, ocean basin volume and global sea level have varied through geological time. However, past ocean basins that have now been subducted cannot be uniquely reconstructed, and a significant cha...
