youre right, something was spelled wrong there, i think you meant conspiracy theorist

and ive always heard it called pangea too

oh ive got an idea, maybe the thing (the giant vegetable from space) was still alive when the dropped him in antarctica, and he started growing :o

I say *most* landmass. When all landmass was actually one vast thing, it was way back in the bacterian times when only bacteria could survive - long before the tri-jurrasic and jurrasic age, which I am actually talking about.

I do have a theory, that trees that loose their leaves in the winter don't grow, and don't need sunlight right? This could have happened to the trees down in Antartica, *however* the type of trees that were growing are ones that *need* sunlight, beech trees and so forth.
I agree with Manbreakfast about the volcanic activity keeping the earth warm - maybe the amount of carbon dioxide in the air kept the trees from exploding from very cold temperatures?? Global Warming anyone?

But 3 months with absolutely _NO_ sunlight just seems strange. If they did adapt, they adapted pretty fast.

And the volcanic thing seems strange too, remember its taken millions of years for all the land to be where it is now, Antartica down there, Australia there and NZ there.
But the Forest still grew for 10 million years AFTER. This is AFTER all the volcanic activity?? I have been finding out more information and it appears this forest was still there until 3 MILLION years ago.

Geography is interesting.

Maybe there were some nutrients still left in the soil after the break-off.

OMG of corse it was the gnomes! who else could it be? gnomes can do anything because gnomes are the best!
