@Nonog was Alaska ever warm? Have you been there in summer? What makes anyone think dinosaurs didn’t migrate seasonally?
@Catawu I've been there in the summer and the winter. I don't think migration would have helped them if it was as cold as it gets now. Article says it was about like Portland. Tolerable for dinosaurs.
@Nonog Yeah, but weather reports from back in the day were kinda Stone Age. (Ok, snark). I think the planet has gone through enough shifts & rifts that the North Pole was probably the Mediterranean and the South Pole was probably a vacation spot. I’m not surprised to find Dino feet anywhere.
