From what I can see on the card, the locations might possibly match up with:

Scott: this is interesting. There does not appear to be any signature of an author on the card, but more importantly there is no card symbol or large letter imprint (that I can see) despite 233 being a prime number!

thalamus: you will see at the sticky at the top of the meta cards forum that there is a limit of 300x450 pixels.

At least two of those locations are associated with Diamonds I think - the Kimberley one and the West African one.

The map seems to be early Jurassic Earth ca. 200 million years ago.

The next pangaea (pangaea ultima) is forecast for about 250 million years from now, at which point none of those points will converge.

The PALEOMAP Project and Paleogeographic Atlas Project are both good resources if you want to study older maps.

I would venture the Northern most point is in Alaska.
