Try to get hold of a record
Wed, 03/31/2010 - 15:08Try to get hold of a record of global sea level fluctuations going as far back as you can. That should probably be a good starting point. I would imagine that the IPCC carry that sort of data on their website somewhere.

sorry for the delay
Sat, 04/03/2010 - 20:33I was thinking of trying for the devonian, but i feel i would run into complications with the mass extinction at the end, so i decided to look into the jurassic a bit more, but the paleogene seems like a plausible option as well.
Thanks for the tip on the IPCC.

Submitted by Jifted on Tue, 03/30/2010 - 20:38.I am a geology student at Humboldt State University (in Northern California) and I have a research paper I need to be working on, but I've been having a lot of trouble finding data for it. I figure it's either because I'm not searching in the right places, with the wrong words, or perhaps there just isn't enough data to make it happen. I wanted to write the paper on the waxing and waning of the shoreline in the American southwest (mainly Arizona and New Mexico). I decided to try and find records of marine fossils in these areas as this would tell me which formations were submersed at some point in time, but this is the data I've had trouble finding. If you could point me in the right direction toward journals that may have information on this area or just think that writing a research paper on this topic is ridiculous i would appreciate it, thank you.
