Think about the great lake-front property around this crater after Global Warming makes Antarctica a must see tourist destination! (sarcasm)

[Ichneumon to Agamemnon:] Speaking of "stupid explantions [sic]", I'll send you $1000 if you can explain why exactly you think the Big Bang is somehow incompatible with retrograde rotation of planets without making a complete fool of yourself (i.e., saying something really idiotic that demonstrates a gross ignorance of even the most basic high school science). Go for it!

Still waiting... Any of the other anti-evolution nuts here are invited to take the same challenge, if you're interested in making complet fools of yourselves and demonstrating that you don't understand elementary physics.

The 'Big Bang' has been re-definined in so many ways, so many times that I fail to see how it can be called upon to give a definitive requirement for direction of rotation of the planets. This does not mean that I take issue with Agamemnon's assertion; merely that I don't see the same conflict. It's likely that he has a better grasp than either of us though.

Why, do you think it was more recent, or...?

No, but there wasn't any information about why they thought it had happened in the correct time-frame. Something I read today indicated that the geology of the area would put the impact "around" 250 million years old, but that allows them a pretty big window-of-opportunity.

My ping list is "Geology Picture of the Week". I occasionally alert them to other geological items of interest.
