The fossil above was found on a mountain top. It was from 5 million years ago. What do you think the mountain looked like 5 million years ago?

Mountains were busy forming 5 million years ago. The Tectonic plates were moving and colliding with each other. Some of the collisions were hard enough that they pushed the sides of the continents up as they collided with each other. These formed mountains such as the Appalachian mountain range. Marine rock, volcanic rock and small pieces of the ocean floor were pushed up into folds and striations that resulted in the mountains that we know today. This is just one example of a mountain range that was formed by the collision of the earth's Tectonic plates.
