There must have been an ocean in the area that is now Kansas.

That it was once underwater.
what could you conclued if you found a fossil of a tripocal plant in a cold climate
That's backwards - the history of climate determines the possibility of fossil production.
The climate changed
A fossil of a fern in an area would indicate that at one time, the region had a temperate to tropical climate. Ferns cannot grow if the climate is too cold, though they can grow in cool climates and moderate elevations.

That the rock where you found the fossil was at some point in a place with tropical climate, but has somehow moved to the place with a colder climate. This is generally accepted as proof of, and explained by, plate tectonic theory.Umm...you could also conclude "if you found a fossil of a tropical plant in a cold climate?" that you need to put your coat on before venturing outside again...it's cold. And that somebody is playing a trick on you and planted the fossil just to see if you would take that coat off forgetting you were in a cold climate.
Scientists find a large amount of fossils of tropical plants and animals in a desert
Scientists find a large amount of fossils of tropical plants and animals in a desert.
# It was sedimentary rock. # They were below the tree line. # The rock layer was exposed. # They were able to recognize tropical plants of ancient origin. # The fossils were once live plants at a time in which a tropical climate existed. # The climate is different now than it was at the time the fossil plants were alive. # The area where the fossils were found was once closer to the equator than it is now.
Climate fossil and fossil climate
the adaptations of species shown in the fossil record gives an idea to what their surrounding were like.scientists study fossils to learn about climates long ago. If a plant fossil looks like a modern plant , sicentist guess two plants need the same climate.
Manaphy does not have a fossil, as it is not an ancient Pokemon.
