Correction to p. 363 of the paper “Fast Paleogene Motion of the Pacific Hotspots From Revised Global Plate Circuit Constraints” by C. A. Raymond, J. M. Stock, and S. C. Cande, in The History and Dynamics of Global Plate Motions, Geophysical Monograph 21, edited by M. A. Richards, R. G. Gordon and R. D. van der Hilst, American Geophysical Union, 2000, p. 359-375.

Please note, we are putting this correction on the web because we have not yet found an easy way to publish a correction to the book itself. Table 1 as printed in the book had erroneous entries for times older than 25 Ma.

Table 1 (corrected). Finite Rotations for Pacific-Hotspot motion relative to the Pacific plate. Positive rotations are counterclockwise. Ages from Cande and Kent (1995).
