Hee. I can had this from Kaja yesterday. As she said, scary. Fatally attractive tho'. I am upset, however, that I lost a geo-reference for you. Seems most of North America is riding on extra-hot rocks; otherwise places south of the old shield rocks of Canadian Rockies [IIRC] would be below sea level; Miami by ~2k ft. Will try to find this- last few days' LATimes short science news column- unless maybe you've seen it?
This explains more than the LATimes mention about the heat, and I think about the degree of heat also- the 'why' of our Little Maple Leaf Elephant Child: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2007-06/uou-war062207.php I got other hits also from the geologist & grad student's names.
Too lazy to search Phanerozoic just now, but that sounds like there were a lot of advanced plants/animals around during the 'welding-on' tectonical highjinks. Hilarity ensued?
