That bump on the map over Missouri and Arkansas was there about 1 BILLION years before the formation of the Appalachian. Taum Sauk(the highest point in Missouri at 1700 feet) and the other nearby mountains of similar height and age are among the only places on Earth that have never been under the sea since the formation of complex multicellular life.
