I thought this would make a nice break from stories about stupid people in Florida.

I wonder if this will be related to the recent findings off the coast of Cuba.

This would be before the last Shaw glacial lake flood at 5600 BC, but after the second to last at 9500 BC. Perhaps some more data for dendrochronology anyway.

8,400 years old.
Interesting, I have some 7,000 year old wood dregded up from under eight feet of silt under Santa Rosa Sound in northwest Florida.

I think somebody dumped this stuff in the ocean rather than burn it or dispose of it "properly."

There ar acres of erect tree stumps from a orest somewhere off Virginia and I think Hatteras. It's a good lobstering area for dives.

Those Prehistoric SUV's led to global warming, the oceans rose, and Oh! The suffering.
Oh, the humanity!

I wonder if this was a big activity of the early inhabitants of Florida...
burning wood and limestone so that they could then get in a boat, paddle out and drop
them in the open sea waters.
Oh well, given the range of theology of the early American inhabitants, I suppose
anything is possible.
But for now I'll go with the burned forest covered by 40 feet of water in
about 8,000 years because it give the "man causes rising oceans" crowd fits.

"I wonder if this was a big activity of the early inhabitants of Florida...

them in the open sea waters. That's cute. What I was really hoping for was for someone to explain how the forest fire started and then flooded, the events were apparently closely related in time. Some kind of catastrophy like a volcano or a metrotite. (a lot more interesting, huh?)

The forest burned because the prehistoric enviro-whackos prohibited loggers from harvesting.

Good thing that was labeled, or I might think it was something else.

Bad dog! I've been waiting for the Baby Ruth bar comments.

When they find the match, call me.

"The forest burned because the prehistoric enviro-whackos prohibited loggers from harvesting." So.... what caused the flood immediately after the fire?
