Hi Roger. What an interesting and fascinating site. I know what Paul means when he said he would be "doing it awhile". I started on it and had a hard time getting back here to shout a big thank you.

I have been trying to study my area alittle more as far as that kind of time line. At that time on the edge of ice sheet.
After reading more about, in today’s world, they say my area only 6-7 million years old. Any thing that was on the ground here all washed away. That is why I dont find dinosaur bone.
This strengthens my beliefs that humans are NOT destroying our planet, but just the opposite. Mother earth can as it has in the past and could again swallow us all whole and cover up for eons and eons only to be discovered again when she is ready......

I’ve always enjoyed the geologic history of R.I., and southeastern New England, as we were part of the ancient volcanic island arc known as Avalonia. I remember when fossil trilobites were found on Conanicut Island in Narragansett Bay, and found to be related to Cambrian Period trilobites from Braintree, Ma., Newfoundland, Scandinavia, Morocco, the Czech Republic, Spain, etc., all fragments of ancient Avalonia. When the super continent broke apart, we remained attached to NA. The cliffs in Newport, RI have been compared to those in Anglesey, Wales. Apparently for good reason!

Cool aspect is to be able to watch how your local migrates across the globe as the continents move. Great site, thx.

Cool...So fitting a lot of pottery puzzles together I just naturally wanted to slide N/A down and fit it to the larger land mass, and I’m thinking,
is that what Earth looked like previous to this period?.good post Roger..
