Embedded mollusc carbonate deposits dated to the Mid-Holocene have been located far inland from today\u2019s shoreline, documenting the meters-higher relative sea levels at that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sea levels were higher because less water was locked up on land as ice throughout the much warmer Mid-Holocene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
