I'm closer to 1500', with rolling drumlins left behind by glaciers and 
it's similar here. I've been told since childhood that our area used to 
be under an "inland sea." There are tons of fossils of sea life around, 
shellfish, trilobites, and the like, but I couldn't say for sure they 
weren't imported by those glaciers from somewhere else.

One thing, anyway. If the climatologists are correct, then humans are to 
be congratulated. Through global cooperation and diligent effort, we 
have successfully staved off the Ice Age that was predicted in the 1970s 
to be headed our way.
