Four reconstructions of the Tethys Ocean at four stages, Devonian, Anisian, Callovian and Cenomanian after Ricou (1994), Barrier and Vrielynck (2008) and Stampfli and Borel (2002). These reconstructions show the rifting of continental blocks (orange color) away from Gondwana or Africa crossing the ocean to ultimately collide with the southern margin of Eurasia. The most recent of such blocks is the Arabian plate.
