Paleozoic Era

“I’d like to be, under the sea, in an octopuses garden in the shade…”Well, did you know that you actually are living under the sea? This land that we live on was once called the Laurentia located at the Equator and covered by ancient warm water shallow seas, 500 million years ago! The evidence is in the many varieties of fossils and plant life you find here. The rock layers, which are shale at the bottom and dolomite/limestone on the Niagara Escarpment caprock are the coral and sea bottom of that sea.
