6016 seems a bit arbitrary.

Gondwana? Who came up with that name? Find them and slap them up side the head. From Wikipedia: "The continent of Gondwana was named by Austrian scientist Eduard Suess, after the Gondwana region of central northern India (from Sanskrit gondavana "forest of the Gonds"), from which the Gondwana sedimentary sequences (Permian-Triassic) are also described."

The animation kind of makes it appear as if the supercontinent is a remnant of the impact which created the Moon. I wonder what the timeframes involved were... the Moon is close to 4.5 or so billion years old, right (close to the age of planet Earth).

They should have gone with “Anawdnog.”
Or “Steve.”

""It is important that we know where the plates existed many millions of years ago, and how they broke apart, as the regions where plates break are often where we find major oil and gas deposits, such as those that are found along Australia's southern margin.""Doesn't that argue against oil and gas being "fossil" fuels and more for substances naturally produced by a break. I can think of no reason why fossil fuels should occur near a break.

“What happened to Pangea?”
There’s a treatment for it now. Apparently, it went away.
To: Yo-Yo
You say Gonwanda and I say Pangea. Let’s call the whole thing off.
