Hate to break this to you, but land masses shift, mountains are born, seas rise and fall.

It's not really breaking news that we find giant seashell fossils in the middle of west Texas, for example.

I have a whole box full of fossilized sharks teeth I found on the eastern shore of lake Huron.

Or to find ammonite fossils on top of Mount Everest, which was once on the bottom of a tropical sea, as were ALL the Himalayan Mountains.

As for Saharan crocs, as recently as a few thousand years ago, during the great glaciations, the Sahara was a well watered place, a huge granary in fact, and supported very large human populations, and had wetlands and everflowiing streams. It would have been astonishing indeed if there were NOT crocs living there under those conditions.

All in all, a big "duh"!

My 10 yr old asked me the other day, "Dad, what's the biggest flood Nevada ever had?"

Wise old Dad thinks for a bit then says, "Probably in 1983 / 84. We had a good El Nino going if I remember right."

"No, Dad. Try when the whole state was under water!"

Silly me.

I found a "New Coke" can along the highway the other day.
