How did dinosaurs get so cool? One of the reasons may have been that unlike us, they could evolve in a world where there was no USA. In the cretaceous period, much of North America was covered by water. This is what America looked like when it was home to dinosaurs like T. rex, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus or Deinonychus.
it's okay, as all the sea ice melts, that water has to go somewhere, right? 🤗
I know you're trying to sell me on sinking most of the U.S., but you had me at pissing on Reagan.
I once read an article detailing how the interior sea was the reason for all the fertile soil in the American Southeast
That's interesting. Sounds as if that's the area where most of the sediment swept into that seaway ended up.
I believe it also had a lot to do with millions of years of shells being laid down on the sea floor.
in that inter-sea is where the Big Gator lived also known as Deinosuchus
It's pretty wild what lived in that sea. The floor was covered in giant clams, up to a meter in size, and the accompanying 10m long sharks specialised in cracking the shells of large molluscs. There were mosasaurs like Tylosaurus, plesiosaurs, and fish like Xiphactinus.
seeing stuff like these make me wonder how scientists figure this stuff out
