Fine Art Prints from Stocktrek
The Western Interior Seaway as seen 75 million years ago from Earth orbit
This is how the Western Interior Seaway may have appeared 75 million years ago from Earth orbit. This large inland sea once divided the North American continent into two landmasses, Laramidia to the west and Appalachia to the east. Branching toward the northeast is the Hudson Seaway and to the north on the horizon are the liquid polar waters of the Labrador Seaway.
At less than one-fifth the size of present day North America, the island continent of Laramidia extended from present-day Mexico to Alaska and was home to tyrannosaurs, dromaeosaurids, troodontids, hadrosaurs, ceratopsians, pachycephalosaurs, and titanosaur sauropods.
The dinosaurs of Appalachia are less-understood as much of the fossil evidence was destroyed by the glaciers that alternately descended from the north and retreated starting 2.5 million years ago

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time, 75 million years ago, to witness the awe-inspiring Western Interior Seaway from Earth's orbit. As we gaze upon this ancient landscape, we can imagine how this vast inland sea once divided the North American continent into two distinct landmasses. To the west lies Laramidia, a sprawling island continent stretching from present-day Mexico all the way to Alaska. This vibrant and diverse region was teeming with life, hosting an array of magnificent dinosaurs such as tyrannosaurs, dromaeosaurids, troodontids, hadrosaurs, ceratopsians, pachycephalosaurs, and titanosaur sauropods. On the eastern side of the seaway stood Appalachia. Unfortunately, much of our knowledge about its prehistoric inhabitants remains elusive due to extensive destruction caused by glaciers that advanced and retreated over millions of years. As we explore further into this mesmerizing image captured by Walter Myers for Stocktrek Images' collection on earth's natural history and evolution; we catch sight of other intriguing features. Branching towards the northeast is the Hudson Seaway while on the distant horizon lie the liquid polar waters of Labrador Seaway. With its rich geological history encompassing plate tectonics and continental drifts shaping our planet's past formative stages; this photograph serves as a window into Earth's ancient origins. It reminds us that even within our familiar world today lies a hidden tapestry woven through time - one that reveals both continuity and change in our ever-evolving planet.
