Spring in the Northern Hemisphere; Fall in the Southern Hemisphere.

I was going to say that the landmasses could have been pretty different back then. But I took a quick look and it looks like they were broadly in the same place with respect to N / S hemispheres.

Yep, 65 million years ago was really not that far from the present, geologically speaking. https://dinosaurpictures.org/ancient-earth#66

Ugh why does it keep turning on rotation when changing the dropdown! I'm trying to fix on a single point and move backwards in time to see the change but it keeps rotating the global every time... weird default functionality. edit: weird, now it seems to work fine. I was disabling the 'rotate global' but it wasn't taking effect before
