- [Locations Reconstruction](https://gplates.github.io/gplately/latest/notebook-html/03-WorkingWithPoints.html)
68+
69+
GPlately can be used to calculate the paleo-coordinates of locations. The figure below shows the reconstructed locations of Jurassic foraminifera.

- Calculating Motion Path
72+
73+
- [Calculating Motion Path](https://gplates.github.io/gplately/latest/notebook-html/09-CreatingMotionPathsAndFlowlines.html)
74+
75+
GPlately can generate motion paths to illustrate the trajectories of tectonic plates through geological time, and create flowlines to track plate motion from spreading features such as mid-ocean ridges.
