Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
Before the time of dinosaurs, most of the Midwest was under a great inland sea, with the fairly new Appalachians sticking up as a large island, sort of like Greenland.
The fossils were deposited at that time on the botttom of a sea floor, and later buried under tons of silt and calcium carbonate, becoming beds of shale and limestone containing fossils.
My degree is in geology, and when I was a young woman I did a lot of field work in southern Indiana.
Should be lots of Iridium there if true
Global warming....natures way. It took a 2 second impact. Now add in volcanoes, earthquakes and fluctuations of the universe.
Wonder if this has anyhting to do with the huge caves in this region. The flux from this most have been lateral also.
