Abstract
Comparing this Hauterivian pole to that of the Wadi Natash basalts [107 ± 4 Ma], which was at [55°N/250°E] during the Albian, the African Plate seems to have rotated counter-clockwise about 10° with Northeast Africa moving northwards [Cairo was moving from 1.5°S to 1.5°N] within the equatorial zone, during the Early Cretaceous.
