When it was alive, 76 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period, Southern Utah looked more like present-day Louisiana.
The climate was wet and hot, and the landscape was dominated by rivers, bayous and lowland flood plains.
Wait, wait wait! Are scientists saying it was *warmer* 75 million years ago than it was today? But I thought we were doomed if the planet warmed up.
Throughout history and pre-history life has flourished whenever it was warm.
People starve in even a single year without summer!
