Zealandia drilling reveals history of sunken lost continent
A two-month drilling expedition at the newly-discovered "submerged continent" of Zealandia has revealed fossils and evidence of large-scale tectonic movements. The extracted sediment cores serve as "time machines" revealing its history, said researchers. Zealandia, roughly the size of the Indian subcontinent, is believed to have separated from Australia and Antarctica around 80 million years ago.
