I've gone so far as to speculate that the Gulf Of Mexico was blocked off from the world's oceans during the Ice Age...and, at some point reflooded, like the Black Sea.

I haven't run across a model that would support that notion yet, but I haven't done a whole lot of research on the subject either. Ya never know. I ran across a clean graphic of the Gulf ~18,000 years ago, on the EPA's website of all places:

I wonder what water depth this was based on?
