The Permian in Ontario, Canada

Paleontology and geology

All the continents came together to form the supercontinent Pangea during the Permian. Ontario was above sea level near the center of the supercontinent. Erosion was the dominant force shaping the landscape, and deposition was restricted to riverbeds, lakes, and low-lying areas. While this map does not show any rocks from this period, other, more detailed maps may.
