Archie Carr's proposing theory that as Brazil spread away from the Mid-Atlantic ridge and Ascension Island, the green turtle returned to the island year after year to lay eggs. The hatchlings would have to swim back further each time 2cm/yr until today when they swim back 1200 miles. I believe this to support Wegener's theory.
