One of the most fascinating verifiable geography facts I am aware of is that while the oldest known landmasses are on the order of 4 billion years old, the oldest known oceanic techtonic plates are 0.2 billion years old.


The headline makes it sound like they're somehow, by sheer coincidence, matched to the same dinosaur. But it's just the much less sensational and novel seeming find of footprints from the same species.


turns out Moses was a dinosaur


Let my sauropods go!


So they could swim?


South America and Africa used to be the same land mass.
