rotation files

[dpastorgalan]

I have been trying the .rot files from Gplates and I am unsure how pmag 2.0 respond to this.

The rotation file has to be complete (until 0!) and it has to be written in intervals of 10 Million years, otherwise it does not plot. While I understand that paleomagnetism.org can't just make extrapolations as GPlates does, and therefore your file should contain steps to be reliable, it is a pain to get .rot files from the reconstruction Gplates exports and move all the plates you want until 0! Is there anyway to make that simpler?

It uses the GaPWAPs that are defined in steps of 10 Myr and relative to plate with ID 701 (Central Africa?). So somehow you plate needs to be connected through a circuit to 701 for it to work.

Ok, I have checked the problem. My reconstruction tree modifies 701 (South Africa), I guessed the code got some conflict. However, I made a few changes renamed 701 in my recon and rotated it to "701" instead, and it still does not plot. I have attached a dummy file with plate id '7011' and rotations relative to 701.

I have tried the same dummy poles in 1.0 and they plot fine.

I can't see the file

There it goes also just in case: 7011 0 90 0 0 701 !
