Wasn't Halliburton founded about 2 million years ago?
Mussel.
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!
This guy should have his own TV show!.........
no tsunami, just Noah's flood.
say tsunami...say Noah's flood...
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.
Four thousand years maybe?
Science Ping.
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.

Interesting !
Bush's Fault!
The Tsunami was for real and is well documented in the Bahamas
There is a program on Discovery Channel describing wave action created by land slides. There was a mountainslide on one of the Canary islands that produced the wave that made great landscape changes on tese islands just off the Florida coast. It is reasonable that some indication also exists in Florida. My recall says the Bahama event wwas not as old as that described in this thread.
The ominous thing is that the volcano producing the slide will slide again. The volcqanologist in UK and the wave scientests in Switzerland predict large damage and huge loss of life in the Bahamas and Florida.
Fishkill isn't really upstate NY (not that there's anything wrong with upstate).
