“Not to mention plate tectonics’’. Yup. But as to impact craters I remember reading somewhere that a good part of what is now southern Florida particularly in the Everglades is the remains of a large impact crater. Who knows, maybe the chunk of rock that hit the Yucatan sixty-five million years ago might have had something traveling with it or debris thrown upward hit southern Florida.... fascinating stuff.

True, but the craters mentioned in the article are supposedly 470myo. A lot has happened since then. Oceans have advanced and receded. Mountain ranges rised and weathered away. Most of western N. America didn’t even exist yet.
