Paleogeographic Quarter-BAM maps (WIP)

This was created at the suggestion of @erictom333, who wanted to avoid cluttering the main Quarter-BAM thread with paleogeographic maps.
These maps will cover the period from 750 ma to the present, with possible extensions occurring if the opportunity arises. With that out of the way...

(Maps shall be in following posts for threadmarking purposes)

660 Ma (no continental shelves)

A few notes:
  • This time lay in between the two Snowball Earth glaciations, so the standard colours are used rather than the ice colours.
  • I was unable to find a 660 ma reconstruction of Scotese's in any of his filesets, so I had to use the reconstruction from the Visible Paleo-Earth project, which does not show continental shelves (it's meant to provide a Blue Marble-esque view of ancient Earth). Ergo, the continental shelves are not shown on the map. If you wish to try and add them yourselves, feel free to do so.
With that out of the way...
