I was stuned!

Mush of what it threw was ice, because it hit in a glacier. Much of the “bow wake” that fell back to earth would have been slushy and not so rocky. To the west, much of what fell landed ontop of glaciers, so the evidence is minimal.

Cintos is non-academic, so this theory is very unpopular, which to me makes it even more interesting.

“Most of western N. America didn’t even exist yet.”

That only makes sense silly.. Columbus had not even discovered America yet......
