What Did Earth Look Like 150 Million Years Ago?
Above: Tampa, Florida, and Houston, Texas would have been floating in the ocean 150 million years ago.
Our site pick today is a fun and educational site. Why fun? Because you can see where your town would have been located on Earth 150 million years ago (or 105 to 750 million years ago).
Earth was a vastly different place then. I can tell you that if you live in Florida or Southeast Texas, your town was in the ocean. But if you lived in Sydney, Australia, 150 million years ago, your city was on dry land, although not where it is now. Of course, if you lived 150 million years ago, you most likely would have been a dinosaur like EB.
Want to find out where in the world you would have lived 150 million years ago? It’s easy, just visit https://dinosaurpictures.org/ancient-earth#150 and type in the name of your town/ You’ll see it appear on the spinning globe representing Earth 150 million years ago.
According to Dinosaurpictures.org, 150 million years ago…
“Late Jurassic. The earliest lizards have appeared and primitive placental mammals have evolved. Dinosaurs dominate both landmasses. Large marine reptiles inhabited the ocean, and pterosaurs were the dominant flying vertebrates.”
If you want to take full advantage of this site, play around with the time options – you can go back from 105 million years all the way back to 750 million years ago.
Or select the epoch by the event – like first multicellular life, first insects, etc.
But wait, there’s more!
