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

This is very neat, Kreigh, thanks for sharing this!Say, a little question about it (you or anyone figure this out?), when I first click on the link, it goes to 240 Mya, and very nicely shows the planet slowly rotating. [I was most impressed, not be seeing Pangaea itself, but by the huge expanse of the "Pacific" (World) Ocean!] But, once I had added a city location (Denver) and changed the time frame, I could never ever get it to rotate automatically again. Not only it didn't give you that nice slow tour around the planet, but it made it harder to interpret, where the axis of rotation and the equator are. Any idea how to "fix" that?Thanks again, PeteSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Usingthe Ancient Earth Map – freely accessible athttps://dinosaurpictures.org/ancient-earth – you can easily click throughthese 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 seawe see today – of Eurasia, the Americas, Africa, Antarctica, and Oceania –are the product of vast tectonic plates that slot together like a jigsawpuzzle. Very slowly, however, these jigsaw pieces move around. It’s notenough to notice within a human lifetime, but on the scale of millions ofyears, the Earth’s landmasses can make it look like a totallyunrecognizable planet.The tool was created by Ian Webster with the help of plate tectonic dataand paleogeographic maps by C.R. Scotese of the PALEOMAP Project.https://www.iflscience.com/find-out-where-your-house-would-be-at-the-time-of-the-dinosaurs-66873_______________________________________________Rockhounds mailing listSubscription Services:  http://rockhounds.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/rockhounds_rockhounds.drizzle.comList Usage Policy: http://Tomaszewski.net/Kreigh/Rockhounds/Rockhounds.shtml
