Here's a very rough map of the world ~250 million years ago. The east coast of America at that time was relatively close to parallel with the equator. Northwest Africa was attached to our what is now our east coast. The climate was tropical for much of the US.

A big ocean like that must have produced some monster hurricanes.

Question for anyone...

Was ancient Antarctica ever warm enough, or wet enough, to support plant life and land-based animals?

Interesting to think about fossils - or even organic remains - buried under miles of compacted ice and snow.
