It was roughly 160,000 km^2, before Europeans got there and drained/dissected it. Do your homework.

Mindspawn, here's a short essay from 144 years ago that expands on Dr A's mention of chalk:http://aleph0.clarku.edu/huxley/CE8/Chalk.htmlThat was written before my grandfather was born, and still explains quite plainly why your "theories" are bunk.

Evidence? What were those conditions, how high was the CO2 level, and how thick can coccolithophore soup get?
Not how thick can you imagine it: how thick can they grow without the top centimeter of water getting too opaque for light to get to the second centimeter?
How well to coccolithophores make shells when the atmospheric CO2 is at, say, 5000 ppm and the pH of the oceans is six, or the value appropriate for your chosen CO2 level?Evidence, please. Not "well, it coulda!!"Edited by Coragyps, : punctuation

Short by pre-television standards.........

And 6500 feet beneath my chair, down in the Permian and therefore beneath the P-T boundary, is the east end of the Horseshoe atoll, a buried reef made of the skeletons of various Permian critters, none of which are alive today. (The sponges were drowned in the Flood, perhaps?) The reef is about 600 feet thick here. How long do reefs take, in antedeluvian days, to grow 600 feet vertically? How many years was it, again, from Adam until Noah's 600th birthday?

I think not. You, mindspawn, made the claim "current rates of accumulation are not appropriate for some forms of coccolithopore which can proliferate chalk production during periods of high co2 prevalence , as per the conditions just after the PT boundary." What were those conditions? Were coccolithophores totally transparent then, and was seawater saturated with calcium and phosphate, with soluble nitrogen for all?You made the claim. You trot out the evidence.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And was it built by humans or by Seymouria baylorensis?

Absolute bullshit. How do you even weave bullshit into any kind of fabric at all? Are you a politician?

You just find me ONE fossil of something resembling a modern mammal - ANY modern mammal - in the Carboniferous. In ANY formation that's Permian or earlier.Find me ONE example, mindspawn. Heck, find me ONE angiosperm fossil in Carboniferous coal.No coproliths of your imagination, now: fossils.

The antecedent for "them" is intended to be "angiosperm" here? Or did you mean "Arctic fox?"Have you ever heard of palms? Of trees? Orchids? Edited by Coragyps, : No reason given.

Obviously you never could, as the Worldwide Atheistic Geologist Cabal has already decided it must be suppressed.....

Of course you don't! You are merely Making Shit Up as you go!

Mindspawn:Show me ONE FOSSIL of a nutria, or a flamingo, or a cypress tree from a Carboniferous swamp. Or broaden that: a mammal, a bird, or an angiosperm fossil from the Carboniferous. One fossil will shut my mouth.
