   > Diplodocus, Long Thought Exclusively American, Turns Up in Spain

   Another example of quality American production moving overseas. Globalization will be the end of us

         So according to this map, North America was separated from Spain by a body of water when Diplodocus was alive?

            Looks like there was a land-bridge to &quot;Europe&quot; around the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary if you stick it in Paleotopography mode.

            (I like that mode better because it appears to show the actual landmasses at the time vs the plates with an approximation of the modern masses overlayed)
