Mystery Of The Tectonic Plates

Here is a visual representation of the standard theory of Earth's tectonic plates:

When the theory went mainstream in the late 60s, a mystery was discovered which I don't think was ever publicly resolved.

Single-celled organisms which grow in the oceans (e.g., diatoms) live in rather narrow bands with respect to latitude. When they die and fall to the bottom of the sea they are incorporated in sediments which overlap the allegedly drifting and rotating tectonic plates. So we would expect their distribution in ancient sediments to reflect this movement.

But they don't. They're distributed in exactly the same manner as modern sediments with respect to today's latitude, which makes absolutely no sense in the context of plate movement.

I suspect this anomaly was just swept under the rug, like some aspects of the "climate change" theory are being ignored today.

My point is that science is often "settled" by ignoring inconvenient facts. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to you.
