Insular Islands
The Insular Islands were a giant chain of active volcanic islands somewhere in the Pacific Ocean during the Cretaceous time that rode on top a microplate called the Insular Plate, beginning around 130 million years ago. These islands collided then fused onto the North American continent during the Mid-Cretaceous time.
