Haven't found palms, but...

birch, larch, spruce and pine mummified forest found on Ellesmere Island in Cdn north.
This site is the farthest north such remains have ever been found.

Proof the Arctic was much warmer 2 to 8 mya.
Even warmer than today...

Where's Mr. Gore? :booty:

Mr. Gore is getting a massage. Apparently divvying up the mansions he and Tipper bought is stressful.
(If you missed the reference, google "Gore massage portland" when you are in a prurient mood.)

What is the farthest north palm fossils have been found?
