Source notes

In spite of all other lines of evidence pointing to a very young age, The Hiawatha team dated some grains found near the crater to 58 million years ago, approx 15% older than their prior maximum age. Something seems off here, so until the other evidence is addressed, Hiawatha will remain a category in this Bib.
