Might have happened at the same time as the Broch Of Guerness partly slid into the sea...

Similar, Aran Islands...

Snapped off and fell into the ocean...

Thanks for those photos — that is an amazingly clean snap!

Wow, can you imagine what it would have been like to be even near that catastrophe? The tsunami waves would have swamped whole islands within hundreds, maybe thousands, of miles!! I suspect coastlines are today formed from the result.

It does give one pause and certainly feeds into the Atlantis mythos.

Thanks Fred Nerks. The dating of these still-discernable ocean floor features is from an old technique known as ballparking. ;’)
