Spectacular specimen: This bug's a big one - 8 feet long - and New Mexico scientists nabbed...

Junior, that's one of your best posts on this general subject, and I appreciate it. You didn't try any intimidation techniques, call me names, talk down to me, or do anything else uncivil.
I'm going to dig my copy of Dr. Brown's book out of storage and search for the answers. Might take a while, because I'm not sure where it is, but I'll get back to you.

OK, I've found the book and I've read the relevant section.
Dr. Brown really does cover all those bases, but I couldn't do the explanation justice by summarizing. He does say that the outgoing material would include sediment material in addition to the water, and that it would have eroded the surrounding area.
He says the temp of the water under the approximate 6 miles of rock would have been about 250 degrees F. He says that at the time of the rupture the strain energy alone would have been about 2 X 1029 ergs. The released compressive energy would have been about 1033 ergs.
As far as I can tell, he covers all bases. But then, my HS Physics, mostly forgotten, isn't up to the task, as I've intimated before.
I'd suggest you read the book and see for yourself. Seriously.

Two things. There are no erosion patterns to be found in the geological column that matches what Dr. Brown's mention. Also, 10^33 ergs is equal to 100 octillion watt-seconds (joules), or 100,000,000,000,000 Terawatts. That's a couple of orders of magnitude greater than my estimates. That heat is going to really cook Noah and his.

As I said, I didn't do the book justice to super-summarize like that. You really should read it, because it does have a lot of detail along those very lines. It may very well answer your questions.

It's not an insect. Arthropod though.
