"Your link to the underwater map sadly does not work anymore. Do you know of a link to a similar site?" That's strange, it still works for me. I don't have another site.

"Have you run across any information that would lead you to believe that a reducing environment may have existed in this area pre-impact? I seem to recall hearing that there was some indication of this from investigations of the cenotes in the Yucatan." Sorry, I don't have anything but claims of a 'city' 2200 feet underwater. I just thought that was to much for subsidence, so....I thought of other possibilities.

Aftermath of the ending of the Ice Age....
Bush Administration has no plans concerning this according to
administration sources.... Women, children, the homeless and Barbara Streisand suffer most....

"There are acres of erect tree stumps from a forest somewhere off Virginia and I think Hatteras. It's a good lobstering area for dives. "
Yes...At the height of the last ice age the sea level was almost 400 feet lower than today.
On the mid-Atlantic coast, Native Americans almost certainly lived along the shores of Norfolk Canyon (then an estuary) far out on the continental shelf.
I have seen the tree stumps far out in the surf off the Va.-Carolina line... after a storm the sand is swept away exposing the old forest. Marl (a soft gray mud) is exposed with plant stems and roots.

"Carolina Bays...."
This probably includes the largest natural lake in Virginia, Lake Drummond, in Dismal Swamp (about 25 miles from the ocean).
It is quite round and has a clay pan under it. I wonder if iridium traces could be found beneath.

"It is quite round and has a clay pan under it. I wonder if iridium traces could be found beneath." Don't know. They have been arguing about their origins forever. Do a search on 'Carolina Bays' and you can review some of the arguments.
Did you get the link to the map to work?

Yeah, Florida is one giant limestone sponge covered with the black debris of Pleistocene fossils. When canoeing down the Peace River, notice the floor of the river. It's mostly black. The black material is bone fragments, shark teeth, manatee ribs, cat teeth, mastodon teeth, horse teeth, ray barbs, ray teeth (well, they're called that. They're more ridges.) etc..

I wonder if iridium traces could be found beneath.I think this calls for a field trip to obtain core samples!

Dismal Swamp is an odd place, geologically.
It is higher in elevation than surrounding land.
Several streams flow down and out of it. It is like a sponge, with vegetation building up the level each year. Probably due to the pan structure below.

"Hey, um Blam, the website states 110 meters. And last time i checked, 110 meters was 330 feet, give or take a few inches.." Yup...that's what I meant, 330 feet, "that's the ticket, yea, yea."

No mining.
There was the the cutting (over 100 years ago) of 150,000 acres of white cedar timber for house shingles. (now all grown back in bald cypress) It has been deeded to Nature Conservancy.
