Long-lost continent found under the Indian Ocean Sand from Mauritian beaches reveals rock from ancient landmass. [ link to www.nature.com] Other ocean basins worldwide may well host similarly submerged remains of “ghost continents”, Mac Niocaill notes in an accompanying News & Views article2. Only detailed surveys of the ocean floor, including geochemical analyses of their rocks, will reveal whether the splintered and now submerged Mauritia has any long-lost cousins, he suggests.
