and the earth is not expanding.
Really?? If the Oceanic crust timeline was overlaid there is a 200M year gap between the west Coast of North America and the East Coast of China. I define that as expansion. The Hawaiian Islands are over a hot-spot and the chain of islands that curves towards Alaska is a history of the hot-spot that is a stationary up-welling of magma that is coming up from the core as that is the hottest part of the planet. Let's add some new elements into it. Yellowstone is also over a hot-spot and assuming that up-welling is also stationary it's history leads back to the Great Lakes so perhaps their creation is due to an area that was over a hot-spot had the magma chambers come under a vacuum due to the area being above an area where the same amount of magma is heading back to the core collapses the empty void and the Great Lakes were landscaped into the form they have today. The vid about that area would be worth watching as the St Lawrence is a stretch mark, just like all the fracture zones in the Pacific Ocean basin.
Another aspect is water levels. 10,000BC - ???? the ocean levels were 400 ft lower than they are today but go farther back in time and Alberta was a shallow sea and that leaves the question of where the water went. Simple answer, as the oceanic rifts all expanded at the same time that left a void for the water to recede off the highest parts of the land. 200M years of spreading is showing and if the process was going on even longer there is your subduction zone. England split off from the EU and in being dragged out to sea and it will eventually be dragged do the bottom of the sea due to the Icelandic Rift expanding material towards the EU. The Pacific Rift off the coast of BC as once at the BC/AB border and BC is a result of material piling up rather than being pulled under. It is still expansion. Any advancement in knowledge comes from debate rather than from lectures where no questions are allowed. Hudson Bay and the GOM would be formed the same way as the Great Lakes.

The Permian Extinction | Mammal-Like Reptiles
Try insects that are part of an eco system. There should also be warm blooded flying things around at that time also as they are the top of the food change these days.
