I visited our local museum recently to find this magnificent beast on display, it was dug out of a clay quarry last century in South Leeds. It got me thinking , it was obviously alive during the last interglacial maximum warming event, we still have a way to go until Leeds gets tropical.
What sort of weather patterns would have existed then (given that no substantial continental drift had occured to interfer with wind flows), where would the lows and highs be positioned the majority of the time and what may have caused these changes. We're ice caps still present. Or is it inexplicable with our present knowledge.
