The first paleogeographic map of the Mediterranean was constructed by Dewey et al. (1973) using finite Eulerian poles of rotation for the lithospheric plates and paleomagnetic data from the Atlantic oceanic crust. This method, highly innovative at the time, was based on the following criteria: i) the determination of the Eulerian rotation poles with the oceanic magnetic anomalies or, where this is not possible, with the tectonic structures identified on the plate margins ... 1, record 1, English, - Eulerian%20pole%20of%20rotation
