palaeolatitude

Australia's palaeolatitude was high throughout the Cretaceous, but, owing to global greenhouse conditions, no ice sheets were developed.

At the opening of the Permian Period, Nova Scotia occupied a central position on the Pangean supercontinent, at about 15 degrees north palaeolatitude.

Madelaine Bohme observed the occurrence of Varanidae, Chameleon, Cordylidae, Tomistominae, Alligatoridae, and giant turtles which indicate survival through the Miocene Climatic Optimum (18 to 16 Ma) in Central Europe (45-42 N palaeolatitude).
