Fossil remains of browse-dependent birds and marsupials indicate the interior was made up of trees, shrubs and grasses rather than the desert scrub environment present today. <<

LOL! Ocean fossils have also been found on the highest peaks in the Rockies. But sh-h-h-h. Let's not tell anyone.

Not only an ocean bottom (except for the Paisano and Davis Mountain volcanos which punched through later), but that ocean was filled in by debris washed from the Ouchita Mountains running from Dallas to the Big Bend (neither of which were there then.) The Guadalupe's are a reef. The bristlecone area in California is also a sea bottom, but at about 10,000 feet.
