Alaskan Coast
243 million years hence
The movement of the Earth's tectonic plates has pushed western North America to the south. Now, 243 million years in the future, what was once Alaska is relatively close to the equator. What once was a frigid, rocky coastline is now warm and subtropical. By now, C3 plants have begun to undergo a massive dieoff, but they will soon be replaced by radiations of C4 plants and terrestrial algae.
Reefs can be found offshore, but they are not formed by corals, which were driven to extinction by the Contracostan period; instead, these reefs are formed by anemones and barnacles. Fish, crustaceans, mollusks and worms froth around these reefs. Neosaurs comb the nearby beaches, some searching for washed-up carrion, some seeking mollusks to eat.
