Scientists drilled through 500 metres of Greenland’s ice — here’s what they found at the bottom (evidence that it all melted away previously)

I’ve seen the dinosaur tracks at Glen Rose but didn’t know of Trinity River tracks. Where are they on the Trinity?

Yup...when researching that spot in CT I found a reference to at least part of the Connecticut River Valley having been a hotspot for dinosaur activity about a billion years ago (or,at least,a couple of hundred million years ago).

And BTW....I did the 2020 Census as a "quality control" guy. Part of my job was to make a few visits to houses that had already been visited to check the accuracy of the data previously collected.

Northampton was part of my territory. I didn't meet any beasts there but I did meet a freak or two! ;-)

I have not been there. Next time I am around, I will try.

Looking at the web, that was actually a real Jurassic dino.
Most of the dinos in the movie are Cretaceous and Triassic!

BTW, those creatures had to survive five (according to climate activists) to 15 (according to scientific realists) to 30 (according to anticlimate activists) times the CO2 levels as today.

They seemed to thrill in that environment.

You’re quite correct.

You might want to take a trip to Drumheller, Alberta and visit the Tyrell Museum. You might be able to see much of it on the net between their site and YouTubers presentations

There are many geological markers.

Most noticable was the immediate extinction of the dinosaurs. I’ll bet that singular impact affected the existing polarity of the planet.

There have been several impacts, and then the Earth’s own need to restore balance and equilibrium complete with plates shifting.

Yes,
The glacier brought a great gift. It scrubbed most of Canada’s topsoil and deposited it in Midwest.
That why OH, IN and IL have the best soils in the world while Canada has almost none.
I am wondering, if sometime Canada will sue for return of it’s soil or ask for reparations?!

In 1942 MGM released a Traveltalks short on glacier and Waterton National Parks. It states that the glaciers have been melting since the last Ice Age 12000 years and

“If there is NO CLIMATIC CHANGE they will be gone in a thousand years.”

So, no matter what puny man tries to do to stop the melting they will continue to melt till natural forces again hurl us into a new Ice age (which was supposed to have begun in the 1970s)

Yes,when I said "a creature that resembles the one in Jurassic Park" that's what the guide at the state park told me. I said "you mean like the one that spat the black stuff at the fat guy?" and she said "yes".

If you ever find yourself near Hartford,CT and have some free time (and a few bucks to spare) I'd encourage you to stop in.

“CO2 was so high ferns were as tall as trees.”

Today, tree-ferns grow in Pacific tropics. Not far from our house on Oahu, there were forests of them...

“Native Americans didn’t swim here.”

At least one group of First Nations and indigenous people paddled here via boats along the ice sheet edge and island hopping. A distinct group of First Nations and indigenous people all the way down to the Comanche Nations all carry the same Y chromosome group which is also found in Kennewick Man DNA.

The source of that Y chromosome group is the North Island of Japan and the indigenous people who inhabited that island before the Asian japanese took it over. Hokkaido Japan has never been connected to land and the distances to Kamchatka, Russia and then the Aleutian Islands is hundreds of miles over each jump. Easily achievable with skin on driftwood or bone boats even today without the ice pack to land and rest on. The edge of an ice pack is also a ecological diverse zone full of sea life and marine mammals plus polar bears, seals and birds aka food. It would have been easier in the ice age to paddle to North America then right now.

People have paddled kayaks across the Atlantic proper and one German paddled from Germany to Australia in a kayak. Humans have had the technology to make skin on driftwood or bone boats for at least 40000 years evidence of Neanderthals using boat technology from 100,000+ years is also present in the Mediterranean Sea area. Humans crossed into Australia across open ocean of no less than 200 miles 50,000 years ago in at least three waves of arrivals.

I personally carry the same Y chromosome as those japanese island sourced First Nations 40% of my DNA is indigenous. I look like the Ainu people who still inhabit the North Island of Japan. People ask me all the time if I am Japanese especially those who have been too or are from Hokkaido. Nope but my ancestors paddled here from there 12,000 years ago.
