It had rested for quite some time in my archives. It is an interesting
little program with quite some surprising stuff.

Same source: the paleogeographic maps published by Scotese:
http://www.scotese.com/
Mapable versions of those can be found on the corresponding wikipedia
pages, e.g.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silurian
From them, further work involves some extended reading (e.g. for those
interested: Ziegler, P.A. (1989): Evolution of Laurussia - A study in
late Palaeozoic plate tectonics.- Kluwer Academic Publishers) and a bit
of Photoshop/Gimp editing to get an acceptable ocean mask.
