A view through a coulee in Alberta, with steep but lower sides, and water in the bottom. Coulee, or coulée (/ ˈ k uː l eɪ / or / ˈ k uː l iː /), [1] is any of various different landforms, all of which are kinds of valleys or drainage zones. The word coulee comes from the Canadian French coulée, from French couler 'to flow'.
map showing location of Kennedy Coulee and other sites where Brachylophosaurus fossils have been found. The Kennedy Coulee (or "Kennedy's Coulee") is a coulee – a dry gorge or valley – in northern Montana and southern Alberta. [1] Its exposed rocks of the Judith River Formation are a rich source of fossils. [2]
The King Coulee Site is located near the mouth of a valley that empties into Lake Pepin. The stream that carved the valley—or "coulee" in the parlance of the Driftless Area—carried sediments down into a small floodplain. Over the centuries the sediments grew deeper while Lake Pepin's water level rose, creating a 4.5-metre deep (15 ft) layer ...
Grand Coulee is two canyons, with an open basin in the middle. The Upper Coulee, filled by Banks Lake, is 25 miles (40 km) long with walls 800 to 900 feet (240 to 270 m) tall. It links to the Columbia River at Grand Coulee Dam and leads southward, through the surrounding highlands. The entry to the coulee is 650 feet (200 m) above the Columbia.
The Coulee Region is the southwestern part of the Driftless Area in Wisconsin. It is named for its numerous ravines. It is named for its numerous ravines. Never covered by ice during the last ice age , the area lacks the characteristic glacial deposits known as drift .
Moses Coulee is the second-largest and westernmost canyon of the Channeled Scablands, located about 30 kilometres (19 mi) to the west of the larger Grand Coulee. This water channel is now dry, but during glacial periods, large outburst floods with discharges greater than 600,000 m 3 /s (21,000,000 cu ft/s) carved the channel. [ 1 ]

The Silurian hypothesis is a thought experiment, [1] which assesses modern science's ability to detect evidence of a prior advanced civilization, perhaps several million years ago. The most probable clues for such a civilization could be carbon , radioactive elements or temperature variation.
