Has anyone seen John F’in Kerry since we took out Soleimani?

an impact +-800k ago would be too long for sink holes. they happen rather naturally from what I understand but a more recent explanation would be that they are like the carolina bays impact craters that are generally linked to the younger dryas impact of 12,000 years ago that killed off the megafauna. https://bit.ly/3008Wu0

Didn’t know of the Carolina Bay impact. The theory I was referring was just that, a theory. But scientists did find The Cichaxalub(sp?) Crater some miles down in the Atlantic Ocean off the Yucatan. I think the thing measures about 130 miles wide. That was huge impact and again, there is a theory that chunks of it may have impact spots in what is present day Florida.

Yeah, I think that was the area they were talking about. There is a theory that what is present day southern Florida at one time suffered an impact of some kind.

As I said this was a documentary I saw some years ago. Of course now in the age of the internet it would be easy enough to check. It’s just that I’m aware there is a theory that what is now present day southern Florida suffered an impact some time at or around the time of impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. But Earths atmosphere with erosion and changes to the landscapes changes and erodes impact sites.

Dunno, but I have trouble trying to keep Haile Sellassie and Talahassee Lassie straight.
