Antillean Continent Theories Linked To Jamaica Expedition
Captain Anthony returned from a four month West Indies expedition detailing fossil and living West Indian mammals. He supports a former large Antillean continent linking Jamaica with the Greater Antilles via Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean connections, and notes Jamaica may have been isolated or a peninsula. Fossil finds include large extinct rodent forms and crocodiles, with Jamaica’s modern fauna dominated by a single land mammal, the Indian Coney. The trip drew strong Jamaican cooperation and highlighted rising American tourism concerns and Jamaica’s possible future status.
