>Yes, I think the earth's crust slipping is a possibility. I read an article a long time ago about a woolly mammoth Elephant that was discovered beneath ice in the arctic. The discoverers were puzzled they found undigested flowers and grasses in the woolly mammoth's stomach; since, such vegetation would only be found in a trophic environment.

>It was theorized that somehow the earth crust has slipped, rapidly transporting the woolly mammoth from a tropical setting to the arctic region. That the mammoth was found with undigested topic vegetation in its stomach is an indication that the probable 2,000 or 3,000 mile transport occurred within minutes, hours, or days, and the woolly mammoth was frozen very quickly. Strange. Maybe you are familiar with the article?
Not with that specific article, I think. But according to Immanuel Velikovsky ("Worlds in Collision"), the death of the mamoth's - and other cases of mass extinction - were caused by catastrophical events, due to close encounters with other planets.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
