Wasn't Halliburton founded about 2 million years ago?

Could have been an impact-related tidal wave. There are inland deposits around the Gulf that suggest a huge wave washed stuff up.

Then there's Wash DC's Upland Deposits- could they be related to the Chesapeake crater?

Wave on, Fossil Hunter!

I live 5 mins away from this quarry. What the heck does a giant olive look like and will he pay me if I find one?

I don't know about Florida, but I've been to places in Texas that have circular shell type fossils 2-3 feet in diameter embedded in the rock, 100 feet off the river. I've always wanted to go chink a couple out......

I would find it harder to believe if they said it had never happened before.

This too, is George Bush's fault as well.

I don't know how he can discern that a tsunami hit from fossils. The whole state was under water millions of years ago. There are marine fossils over the entire state, and sharks teeth can be found in the sands. If you look at a map, you can see that the whole state is really nothing more than an ancient river delta where sand has built up from a river that ran down from the Appalacians into the ocean.

Yup. My sentiments exactly.
