    Regardless of whether you believe in astrology or not, this is a fun little site :D

    Its in French but easy to understand- basically you only need to know at what time of the day you were born to find out your "prehistoric zodiac sign".

    time = Million years ago - so 180 million years ago a year had 381.2 days of 23 hours each , so each month would need another 1.5 days, star signs would be messy

    Time 65 136 180 230 280 345 405 500 600
    solar days/year 370.9 377.2 381.2 385.9 390.6 396.8 402.6 412.2 422.6
    length of solar day (hr) 23.6 23.2 23.0 22.7 22.4 22.1 21.7 21.3 20.7

    Time 715 850 900 1200 2000 2500 3000 3560 4500
    solar days/year 435.0 450.2 456.0 493.2 615.4 714.0 835.9 1009.5 1434.0
    length of solar day (hr) 20.1 19.5 19.2 17.7 14.2 12.3 10.5 8.7 6.1


    must look up the rest of the paper , tides were a LOT higher back in the old days , 10 times as high as now !

    Maybe that's why these star signs are based on the time of the day XD

    Very disappointing. I was hoping for some kind of sea creature. But I am a Pteranodon.

    Maybe that is why I work on aeroplanes, and my nick here is that of a bird. ;)
