[Rockhounds] Find Out Where Your House Would Be At The Time Of The Dinosaurs

[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

Simply type in your address into this interactive map and you can see what
your location looked like at the time of the dinosaurs and beyond. Using
the Ancient Earth Map – freely accessible at
https://dinosaurpictures.org/ancient-earth – you can easily click through
these colossal changes and see how the Earth appeared through the eons.

The appearance of Earth, as we know it, is relatively new. The land and sea
we see today – of Eurasia, the Americas, Africa, Antarctica, and Oceania –
are the product of vast tectonic plates that slot together like a jigsaw
puzzle. Very slowly, however, these jigsaw pieces move around. It’s not
enough to notice within a human lifetime, but on the scale of millions of
years, the Earth’s landmasses can make it look like a totally
unrecognizable planet.

The tool was created by Ian Webster with the help of plate tectonic data
and paleogeographic maps by C.R. Scotese of the PALEOMAP Project.
