Reconstruction of datapoints that are not on gplate polygons #3

Closed mcranium closed 4 years ago

mcranium commented 4 years ago

I tried to calculate the palaeocoordinates of the Burmese Amber field site (26.500250, 96.583361) via the reconstruct() command and I got NAs as a return, because the coordinates are not on gplate polygons. Is there a way to circumvent these kind of issues?

Best wishes, Mario

That is unrelated to chronosphere, and a problem of the plate tectonic model. You should use a different one, then, e.g. reconstruct(matrix(c(96.583361, 26.50025),ncol=2), age=100, model="SETON2012")
