Thanks ForGod'sSake. Nice job, this is a two-list ping topic. Now I've got some more reading to do, see if this is a death assemblage, i.e. was all laid down at once. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

I have wondered about this quite a bit. Analysis of the Carolina bays SEEMS to indicate that they are not all oriented exactly the same, but collectively point at an area a bit to the southwest side of Lake Superior.

So we get to imagining that an asteroid or cometary impact in that area threw up billions of tons of debris, simultaneously wiping out huge numbers of the large megafauna at that time - the mammoths, the NA Rhinos, etc.

So where did it hit?

Where’s the crater?

Well, the ice was probably two miles thick where it hit!

The crater WAS there!

Then it melted!

Hey, it’s possible!

Good luck with that. All I found was several articles citing the original press release which is fairly limited in information.
