Reality Check...Antarctica was closer to the Equator (surprise it was Warmer??).

I found this elsewhere: "By the team's estimates, thanks to the creeping drift of continental plates the drill site would have been several hundred kilometers closer to the South Pole back when dinosaurs still roamed. "
