This discussion concerns only
evidence for proposals described (in this case, by Graham Hancock) in recent popular literature.
The paper to which I linked - [
www.hallofmaat.com] - concerns the evidence for crustal displacement and true polar wandering on Mars (questions originally raised by Hancock). In the paper, such points as the internal structure of Mars, its angle of obliquity, and the extent of continental glaciations, were discussed.
So the question here is whether anyone knows of any evidence that might counter what was mentioned in the paper. (I'm afraid I can't answer too many of your questions myself, as I'm not a geologist).

But it wasn't.
From the "Mars, Gondwana"paper:

from what is known about the internal structure of Mars, e.g. Schultz (1985) and Zuber et al. (2000), it differs greatly from the internal structure of Earth.

From the same paper:
Quote
Mars is essentially a tectonically dead planet that lacks an asthenosphere and, thus, is unable to support plate tectonics much less Earth crustal displacement. The lithosphere of Mars consists of a single solid plate that has locally contracted and expanded during initial cooling to produce many fractured areas and an enormous rift canyon. Instead of by either plate tectonic or crustal displacement, the surface of Mars rotated relative to axis as the result of true polar wander, as described by Schultz (1985), which FOG confused with crustal displacement.
In the case of true polar wandering, the rotation of Mars is caused either by the redistribution of material within a planet or redistribution of angular momentum between the atmosphere and planet. The redistribution of material can occur either as magma plumes, other mantle flow, or the construction of massive volcanoes on the surface of Mars. The redistribution changes the moment of inertia of the planet, which changes the spatial orientation of the Euler axes. This results in the planet shifting its orientation in space without shifting the orientation of its spin axis in inertial space. In the case of “true polar wander” the angle of obliquity remains fixed in inertial space while the planet moves with respect to the spin axis (Spada et al. 1996). This is the mechanism proposed by Kirschvink et al. (1997) for changes in the orientation of the Earth surface during the early Cambrian which Hancock and Faiia (1998:210-211) also have hopelessly confused with Earth crustal displacement.

As explained previously, I can't address all your questions, as I'm not a geologist.
However, on the Ross Sea, see this: [

And on fossil forests, you migh find this of interest: [
