was the Late Cretaceous the peak of global geography/topography?
>Australia was green
>India was an island
>North America and Asia were connected
>Europe was tropical
>Antarctica was still temperate

would you prefer to retvrn to this period?

Europe was like Indonesia back then

>>213427524
yes and it was kino

For me it's the Pleistocene, Ice Age Earth was peak

>>213427564
better map actually

>>213427495 (OP)
No, as the average temperature of the Earth was higher back then, for Antarctica to have been temperature, the tropics and subtropics would have been unbearably hot.

there were mini dinosaurs and gigantic pterosaurs living on these islands back then

>>213427623
>pterosaurs
This pterosaur was living in the Romanian island back then

i still don’t understand the evolutionary advantage of that big goofy ass beak. they literally hunted on the ground so it must have been a fucking nightmare trying to sneak up on prey and being agile

>>213427673
it was flightless i think just like those gigantic birds in Cenozoic
>>213427576
It looked fucking kino but too cold and dry

>sneak up on their prey
It didn't have to sneak, it was an apex predator, if it didn't swallow its small prey whole it could use its huge beak to impale its prey.

I don't have a preference. But I recently saw a documentary about the Snowball Earth period and it honestly gave me a new lease on life.

Huh, this map kinda makes it seem like a lot of the rainforests around the world are pretty young.

>>213429619
>Young
I wouldn't call being tens of millions of years old "young".

>>213429746
Last glacial maximum was only a few ten thousand years ago. It's pretty recent, and certainly not "millions of years".

>>213429940
You're right, I got confused about what time periods we were discussing

>>213427706
It's basically a giant pelican.
