Texas and Antarctica Were Attached, Rocks Hint

Fascinating....About 1.1 billion years ago, what are now El Paso, Texas, and Antartica appear to have existed side by side, scientists say.

I have also read that the Ft Davis/Davis Mountains area, as well as Big Bend NP were also connect to Antartica as well.  It's crazy to think that when I am hiking in the Chisos that I am actually walking in Antartica!
