Darn continental plates!

Just watched a show the other day where they're finding fossils of ferns etc. in Alaska.

If we all left the planet for 100mil years or so...would be funny to see how much things changed.

Imagine someone that left here back then coming back, "Um, where are the dinosaurs?"

Oceans of Kansas
Perhaps millions of years of erosion washed away from the Rockies and deposited in the Plains states played a role.

I watched a documentary about Colorado and they said the rocky mountains were at least twice as high from
what they are today.
