The Izanagi Plate is no more. It slipped beneath the surface of the North American Plate, just off the coast of northwestern Japan, roughly 95 million years ago. Before its dive, it was a terrestrial plate with surface land masses and accumulated fossils of the Cretaceous period and earlier. That means a slow decline of icthyosaur populations, new species of nodosaurids, and a ridiculous array of coastal and near-coastal critters that boomed in the warm shallow seas of the time. It almost certainly took with it some of the best fossil records of the Fukuisaurus.
So where is it now? Fully subducted plates don't just dissolve and diffuse like magic; they sort of squish along in the mantle, acheiving ever more soft and groovy shapes.Take a look at what the Farallon Plate has been up to, for example (the Juan de Fuca plate,which we miss already, is a remnant of the Farallon).
As a subducted terrestrial plate, our scent for the Izanagi combines the surface and the depths: the earthy greenness of prehistoric forests with the soft, embracing warmth of the Earth's mantle. Conifers, hawthorn, mosses and vetiver root in toasted vanilla.
