The continent of Argoland, at one time part of another supercontinent, is thought to have splintered off from what is now Southeast Asia.
Scientists say they have solved the mystery of what happened to an ancient continent called Argoland , which was thought to have split off from a supercontinent 155 million years ago.
According to experts, Argoland was once part of the supercontinent called Gondwana. Researchers were able to use geological data extracted through missions deep in the ocean basin located off the western coast of Australia to determine what happened to the landmass.Research published in the journal Science Direct called Gondwana Research shows that scientists believe they have located the boundaries for what once was Argoland around the area of Southeast Asia.
Researchers say the landmass might not have just been made up of one big piece, but of microcontinental fragments with older ocean basins between them called an"argopelago."
