marine life up high
marine life = water presence
how much water and the cause of the water remains to be seen... i really dont think that it can easily be explained away as a glacial movement unless at some point the glacier itself was submerged
I'm really not sure what you're saying.
If by "marine life up high; marine life = water presence" you are referring to marine fossils on mountain tops, there is an entire thread on just that subject that has been active up until this past week. You should be able to get the answers you need there, or to pose additional questions.
Glaciers get their water from snowfall. It accumulates year after year and builds up vertically. The weight eventually pushes the resulting ice to the sides (downhill mostly). Glaciers will grow if there is more accumulation than there is melt at the terminal end.
During the glacial episodes the ice accumulated in places to a depth of up to three miles. That, and the significantly colder temperatures--less melting at the edges--forced glaciers into many parts of the northern US. Many mountain ranges that are now free of glaciers still bear the distinctive marks showing where the glaciers scoured the landscape.
But these glaciers resulted from snowfall, not from some contact with oceans.
I hope this helps. If not, perhaps you could reframe the question?
