Perhaps the dates the buffalo migrated each year for the last 10K years or so would be useful. I would settle for the rise and fall of the oceans as they rose that 400ft. Mud from deltas would go that far back, from the open oceans that would be a different piece of the puzzle.


Like the animation for Pangaea, the right pieces are there, the movement and sequence needs some work so it is obeying the laws of physics rather than the imagination of a few rich men.

It hit 70°F in Alert for the first recorded time.

The glaciers are advancing in the Interior of BC and retreating in the Arctic.


Yes it did...………………………………………….for less than 2 hours!

It was also below freezing on 5 mornings in July, so it's a bit early to celebrate.

And snowed on the Rockies and Kootneys Thursday.
Balmy. Very balmy.
I've driven through the Kootenay Pass in June in a snow storm (that surprised me) and I suppose that it reasonable to expect snow in the western mountains any month of the year. Warm summer days in Alert is a new phenomenon.

There are tropic sea shells all over the north dood.

Tropical fossil forests unearthed in Arctic Norway

UK researchers have unearthed ancient fossil forests, thought to be partly responsible for one of the most dramatic shifts in the Earth’s climate in the past 400 million years.
(I didn't realize the man maid is such an old bag)

The fossil forests, with tree stumps preserved in place, were found in Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago situated in the Arctic Ocean. They were identified and described by Professor John Marshall from Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton and Dr Chris Berry of Cardiff University and.

Professor John Marshall has accurately dated the forests to 380 million years.

Ellesmere Island Eocene Fossils

Some 55 million years ago, during the early Eocene Epoch, ELLESMERE Island in Canada's eastern High Arctic was warm and ice-free. It was also home to lush lowland forests and swamps inhabited by alligators, giant tortoises, snakes, lizards, and a host of mammals that included primates, tapirs, hippo-like Coryphodon, and large, rhino-like brontotheres.

In the nearby ocean, clams and snails thrived. This extinct environment, well above the ARCTIC CIRCLE, combined a warm temperate climate with a typical Arctic light regime of bright summers and dark winters.

Tropical sea shells come from under the water. That's what happens when the ice cap melts. A whole lot more of the planet is under water ... including, where most of our species lives.
