Haughton Astrobleme
Rained x windy all day
Visited by Haughton River
Geophysicists abt. 11 am
who brought warm fresh
BAKED RASIN OATMEAL COOKIES
from their camp 2 meters away.
Spent much of morning brain-
Storming on Arctic as center
of pebrisorocetyl evolution
& other ecological/adaptive
aspects of early Tertiary
BIOTA.
Decided that high crowned
serratomorph teeth of early
ferrisoids let them grind up
tough arctic veg. Especially
during winter when only
Twight x hrs. were available.
Distinguished between
Animal groups originating
in Arctic (Pebrisos) &
those merely radiating
in from elsewhere
(Coryphodont)
