Alberta
Over 300 to 400 million years ago, in the Devonian epoch, Alberta was mostly covered by expanding and receding seas.
"...Where I live, the sea is in Deep Time. An ancient memory, set in stone, high in the mountains... The fossil oil, which has taken tens of millions of years to form, is now being consumed by humans in a few hundreds of years. By consuming the oil rapidly, we release the massive amount of carbon, which was sequestered by Devonian marine-creatures, back into the atmosphere. This affects our climate. "
