RÉSUMÉ R. A. Reyment Paleontologiska Institutionen, Uppsala Universitet, Box 558, S 75122 Uppsala, Sweden. Received 5/5/79, in rcviscd form 27/8/79, accepted 24/9/79. The interpretation of the origin of the South Atlantic Ocean made byoceanologists and paleontologists are shown to be in complete agreement. Severa! major phases in the opening of the ocean can be identified, · each of which had recognizable effects on the paleobiogeography of marine and land organisms. The occurrences of closely…
