Aboriginal 6 Nations creation "myth" based on exposed fossil coral bed. This continent of prehistoric fossil coral reaches from the Florida Keys to Ontario in Canada.
North America has significant prehistoric coral reefs, but from vastly different eras: Florida's are younger, from the Pleistocene (ice age) and Holocene, forming the bedrock of the Keys like Windley Key State Park, while Ontario's are much older, Devonian (400M yrs ago) and Silurian (440M yrs ago) reefs found inland at places like Rockwood & Rock Point Provincial Parks. These fossils show how ancient marine environments shifted, leaving behind fossilized coral structures and limestone layers in both regions.
Key Differences
Age: Ontario's are vastly older (hundreds of millions of years) compared to Florida's (thousands to a million years).
Location: Ontario's are inland, exposed by erosion, while Florida's form the foundation of the Keys.
Rock Type: Florida's are often agate-replaced coral, while Ontario's are typical Paleozoic limestone.

Analogous to the federal reserve bank except for the spank bank. The carnal reserve bank is the central location in the brain where all pornographic,erotic and sexy images,scenarios and fantasies are stored for spanking stimulation.Where as the spank bank stores recent and favorite images,the carnal reserve bank keeps older or less frequently used images.
I got tired of whacking off to the same old fantasy so I summoned up some different material from the carnal reserve bank.

Get the Kiernan conally mug.Pantone's 2018 Color of the Year. Somewhere between "fresh ham" and "excited carrot." It's a nice color, but also the sort of pink-ish orange your design-savvy fiance will demand in the living room.
Alexa: Wow, I love this apartment, what's this color? Fresh Ham?
Josh: No, it's actually Living Coral. Sarah picked it out.
