I like to wonder what undiscovered fossils exist below the oceans that cover 70 percent of our planet.

- blueflow 3y agoLook up about continental vs ocean crust, ocean crust is younger and has a shorter lifetime. You have better chances finding maritime fossils on land.
- jamiek88 3y agoYeah subduction is the missing key that took a while for us to understand. Ocean crust is young. In fact most earthly rock is relatively young. Plate tectonics was such a clever idea. So obvious now, I mean just look at a map of the world of course continents were once one, you can see where they join, like a jigsaw puzzle. It astonished early western explorers finding seashells on mountains!
- DavHeheCuddly 3y agoor maybe all the continents were once one because it was just the full surface of an expanding planet
