True, but interestingly, the drill site is very near the geographic S. pole as it was located 90 million years ago. Sure seems to be more than continental drift at play here.
Right, and the tropical flowers we find in the northern tundra were not there because Eurasia just suddenly floated north from the equator during or after the last ice age. Continental drift simply doesn’t account for the discrepancies between the fossil record and the current climate conditions.
Not a lot. 90mil isn’t that far back in geological times. The Earth is estimated to be 4.6billion.
Scientist know there were amphibians and tropical forest under that ice....they just don’t want YOU to know. The tree ring data show that the polar nights were still 6 months long.
There is also a petrified forest on Elsmere Island in the High Arctic. There isn’t any trees there now. Just ice and musk ox.
