snakes, lizards, gators and more
you have missed some things...perhaps these will get you started...if you look, you will find that the literature is far from silent on this matter
axekrod. 1984. an interpretation of cretacious and tertiary biota in polar regions. paleogeography, paleoclimatology, and paleoecology 45:105-107
estes/hutchison. 1980. eocene lower vertebrates from ellesmere island, canadian arctic archipelago. paleogeography. paleoclimatology, paleoecology 30:325-347
and i love the title of this one
taylor/taylor/cueno. 1992. the present is not the key to the past: a polar forest from the permian of antarctica. science 257:1675-1677
say...how abuot that ol' uniformitarianism anyway
the conept of uniformitarianism (the present is the key to the past) is the height of nonsense and yet it is a MAJOR assumption underlying many fields of science
it is reasonably applicable when used with regard to some constants (that are reasonably constant now)...but when applied to things like geology and much of radiometric dating among many other things, one enters the realm of grievous error
