Cathaysia Continent - Cathaysia Continent
|
A continent believed to have spread from present-day China to Southeast Asia after the late Precambrian period. In the late Paleozoic era, it is known as the area that produces fossils of the Cathaysia plant group, represented by Gigantopteris (a fossil of a large fern-like leaf). Parts of it sank several times from the Paleozoic to the Mesozoic eras, but became land again around the end of the Tertiary period. Cathay is derived from Khitan, and is another name for China.

先カンブリア時代後期以後に現在の中国から東南アジアにかけて広がっていたと考えられている大陸。古生代後期にはギガントプテリス（シダ状の大きな葉の化石）を代表とするカタイシア植物群の化石を産する範囲として知られている。古生代から中生代には一部が何度か沈下したが，第三紀末ころ再び陸化した。カタイは契丹に由来し中国の別名。
