They might be able to date this tsunami using the famous tree ring record, if it goes back that far, or use this to extend the tree ring record.

"They might be able to date this tsunami using the famous tree ring record, if it goes back that far, or use this to extend the tree ring record." I thought of that, it would just be a localized effect and not much good for a worldwide record, huh. BTW, I just read (somewhere?) that a preserved 50,000 year old forest has recently been found in (I think) South America. The present tree ring data tapers off sharply at 10k years. (I think the recently found forest covers a span of 1,200 years.)
