For the most part, the North Sea is relatively shallow. This finding seems to represent yet more evidence that sea level was once substantially lower than it is today.
Not just in the orphaned Mediterranean and Black Sea basis, either. If sea level was 300' lower in the North Sea, it was probably 300' lower in the Gulf of Mexico, as well.
