The question arises as to how warm the water was in lower levels. Had it been too warm, would fish have survived? Also, would there not have been variations in ocean water temperatures between the equator and the poles, as there is now?

Face it, we are all gonna die!!!!!

Whew!

Now that I got that off my chest, I guess I can go back to what I was doing. :)

first thing to remember climate change is the norm not the unusual as the RATs would have people believe. the huge limestone formations (coral) left by inland seas came from higher concentrations of CO2 in the air. the current alignment of the continents with an arctic ocean tend to lead to cycles of glacial periods not runaway heat. none of the existing climate models correctly represent todays when loaded with past centuries of data. If they can't correctly represent today's conditions they cannot truly estimate the future.

The "fish" of that era were there. Everything adapts or dies.
