I was researching paleontogical maps to better understand rock compositions in the Kootenays and I came across something of interest for you guys.

So type in your city, chose how far back you want to go and enjoy finding out where you would be on earth at that epoch!

Nelson BC was in Washington, in the Pacific Ocean. It broke through the waterline 160 million years ago.

I'd be in the cental pangean mountains 300 million years ago, would be pretty cool if the Appalachian mountains were still the size of the Himalayas.
