It almost looks like this island broke apart from the mainland, was carried off and then listed in the Great Melt of the southern hemisphere. Note how some of the parts fit, similar to South America and Africa. The detached block is definitely tilted, suggesting it has moved, so I agree with the idea that it was once more horizontal and belonged to the northern 'continent'. As has been pointed out it may not have drifted horizontaly enough to produce the wide gap we now see. It is obviously fractured and different parts of it are tilted at different angles so to me it's not surprising that there isn't a perfect match up with the 'continental' boundary. I think as a general idea your suggestion runs. |
