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

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.

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?)
