Hi, Bob.

Here are a couple of resources I consult periodically. See whether they work
for you.

1. The Paleomap Project by Christopher R. Scotese, http://www.scotese.com/ .
Here you will find both static and animated maps of how the continents
danced through deep time. Including maps for the early, mid and late
Cretaceous. These maps are speculative, of course, but Scotese is on the
case -- sieves new information.

2. Out of date, but on the right track and a classic: "Angiosperm
Biogeography and Past Continental Movements" by and Peter H. Raven and
Daniel I. Axelrod. Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden vol. 61, #3,
1974. It's the entire issue. This is from the days when Raven was a young
whippersnapper. It must be in many university libraries. You will also find
it (and a lot else, often in a form hard to find and awkward to download) in
the digital library of the MBG at http://www.botanicus.org/.
