Hi Rich -

Not really.

While other posters there have some useful information, your friend Dennis has none, at least not yet.

Paul has written about Dennis's earlier impact "discoveries", and I leave Dennis's new Mexican dessert features to Paul's analysis.

Even if what Dennis is viewing are pyroclastic features, what we're dealing with is Pleistocene fauna. Simple ordinary firestorms may account for them, and none of them are dated.

In other words, even if you find an impact geobleme, that does not mean it is specifically from 10,900 BCE.

E.P.
