Further Proof

Stop me if I am wrong,but I am thinking this is more proof of the Pangaea theory. Zealandia is a nearly submerged continental fragment that sank after breaking away from Australia 60-85 million years ago and separating from Antarctica 85-130 million years ago. It may have been completely submerged 23 million years ago and is still 93% submerged.
Zealandia,aka Tasmantis is larger than Greenland. New Caledonia is at the northern end of the ancient continent and New Zealand rises at the plate boundary that bisects it as shown in the map below.
