Answer:

The coastline of Virginia begun to separate from Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

This geological period corresponds to the Cretaceous (145 to 66 mya). In the Early Cretaceous (140 mya), North America separated from Pangaea to form its own continent. In consequence, during this period, the east coast of North America (i.e., the coastline of Virginia) separated from Europe.
