apparently been interrupted in the previous period, was reestablished.
The duration of the warm period has been set at approximately ten
to twelve thousand years (364:11).
According to our interpretation, this luxuriant development
of microorganisms of temperate type in the Arctic
Ocean marks the movement of the pole into the interior of
North America, and away from the Atlantic. This movement
must have initiated a temperate period in all that half of the
Arctic Ocean facing Scandinavia and Siberia. Again, a glance
at the globe will make this clear. The reader cannot fail to
see that with the pole in Hudson Bay, the Arctic and the
Atlantic Oceans would lie on the same temperate parallel of
latitude.
This indication of temperate conditions in the Arctic
gains enormously in significance when considered in connection
with the evidence of the Ross Sea cores for the same
period in Antarctica. It seems that here we have evidence of
warm periods near both the present poles. Yet, obviously, it
is impossible to claim that the whole earth was warmer at the
time, because of the evidence of widespread glacial conditions
in both North America and Europe. It seems to me
that a reasonable person is forced to the conclusion that the
crust shifted.
b. Earlier Phases of the Wisconsin Glaciation
Let us briefly reconstruct the history of the crust displacement
that resulted in the shift of the polar location from
Greenland to Hudson Bay. This will explain the earlier,
unknown phase of the Wisconsin glaciation. As has been
pointed out, the earliest known phase of that glaciation is the
Farmdale, only 25,000 years ago. Despite this fact, very many
pieces of wood and other remains from glacial deposits in
North America have been found to be much older than that.
As already mentioned, Flint was led by this evidence to suggest
that there must have been earlier glacial advances, the
evidences of which were later destroyed. It has been shown
