A University of Wyoming researcher is part of a team that has demonstrated geologically how North America was once connected to Asia. Geologist Kevin Chamberlain and other researchers used a technique to test reconstructions of ancient continents to show how rocks or crust now exposed in southern Siberia were once connected to northern North America. Chamberlain says the finding offers future economic implications for mining companies.
