Tsunami linked to Yellowstone crater (~13,000 years ago)

It is not that they are inverted, there are just older formations overlying younger ones. Which is classic thrust fault situation, but in this case it was a massive slide along a plane of detachment leaving islands of older rocks, called klippen, on top of much younger rocks.

As they say in structural geology, thrusting causes overturned beds. :)

Ice Age Ends Smashingly: Did A Comet Blow Up Over Eastern Canada? (Carolina Bays)

[null and void]

I hope everyone was alright.

They're all dead now...

Where are the Carolina Bays? i want to check them on google maps.

[doodad]

Check in a line from south GA to east Carolinas. Coastal Plain area.

"Where are the Carolina Bays? i want to check them on google maps."

Over 500,000 of them onthe east coast if the US. Ahem, start looking in South Carolina.

Carolina Bays

Pretty interesting, isn’t it, that those theorizing a massive comet impact in North America triggered the Younger Dryas date it to 12,900 years ago, the sweet spot for this event???

What is the orientation of this Yellowstone Bay? Photo/map anyone? Could it have been caused by the same event as the Carolina Bays rather than a tsunami from the lake?

[shuckmaster]

Thank you! I quickly found a bunch of them zooming in on Myrtle Beach and then the area NW of the city.

I was hoping someone would ask that question...I don't know.

Good thinkin’!Good thinkin’!

Now that was some blast.

The geological history of Wyoming is astounding. While the Heart Mountain event appears to be more of a massive landslide than a blast, there have been plenty of Big Blasts in the state's past. For a great trip through that past read John McPhee's wonderful book: "Rising from the Plains."

You have posted that several times, blam - dang it, I’m just gonna have to buy that book and read it.

SunkenCiv did it to me several times before I bought it.

So...he's the one who started it.

:’) I resemble that remark.
