Map showing Farallon plate motion for symmetric (blue arrows) and asymmetric (orange arrows) spreading scenarios. The asymmetric spreading scenario better fits the available dat (yellow star and triangle).
Map showing location of Shatsky Conjugate, North America and the Insular terrane from 90 to 85 Ma. Two cases for Insular's position are shown: one offshore, and one onshore but further north.
