Many people wonder how maps of ancient continents can be made. It isn't easy, especially for older maps. Keep in mind I do not know much about the geology of Finland itself (I am a geology student in the USA) but if there are igneous rocks a date and location of formation of that rock can be estimated. Scientists can get a rough estimate based on data from rocks. Scientists can find the age of rocks by looking at radioactive isotopes that have a known half-life in igneous rocks. In addition, the orientation of magnetic minerals can indicate which direction and in which hemisphere an igneous rock formed in since these minerals orient themselves toward the Earth's magnetic poles. Fossils can also be used to get an idea of where a landmass was located in the past. For example, if abundant coniferous plant fossils are found the landmass was likely located in a cold temperate or subpolar latitude, which means it must have been located near either the North or South pole (similar to Finland today, actually). On the other hand, plants that appear to be tropical in the fossil record would indicate the landmass was closer to the equator. The fossils can be dated by estimating the approximate age of the sedimentary rock the fossils are found in, which involves estimating the age of the surrounding rocks that are above and below the rock layer with the fossils being examined. If the rock layers above and/or below are igneous then a direct age can be found from isotopes in the igneous rock layers and then the rock layer with the fossils can be dated relative to the surrounding igneous rocks, especially if both the layer above and below are igneous. If the rock layers above and/or below the layer with the fossils being examined those other layers can still be estimated if they are part of a known formation, have fossils of species whose ages are already known from previous studies, or can also be estimated if they are above or below igneous rock layers themselves. However, these methods become more difficult the further back in time you go since there are less and less rocks the further back you go (less and less fossils too), so the map from 3 billion years ago could very well be inaccurate, but the map from 100 million years ago is mostly accurate.

The short answer: More like an educated guess for the oldest maps, likely pretty accurate for the younger maps. The long answer: Scientists can get a rough estimate based on data from rocks. Scientists can find the age of rocks by looking at radioactive isotopes that have a known half-life in igneous rocks. In addition, the orientation of magnetic minerals can indicate which direction and in which hemisphere an igneous rock formed in since these minerals orient themselves toward the Earth's magnetic poles.

[@mennobot3884]

@@timcreations8059 I appreciate the explanation! I agree that it is probably magnetism that was used for the oldest estimations, though there is a problem with magnetic information contained in rock. When the layers are folded, the orientation changes as well, which can lead to wrong paleo-location-predictions. Now, since Finland has been around for so long, I can also imagine it having been through quite some folding across the billions of years.
