Scientists discover 120-million-year-old Earth section: Here's how it could change what we know about our planet

Geologists have uncovered a long-lost tectonic plate called Pontus, believed to have existed 120 million years ago in Borneo. Led by Suzanna van de Lagemaat from Utrecht University, the discovery reveals new information about Earth’s geological past and the breakup of Pangaea. This breakthrough, based on magnetic data from ancient rock formations, offers insights into how tectonic plates shaped modern-day regions like Borneo and the Philippines.
