Google Maps has excellent images and Terrain map.
The central mountain shows a half-ring of tilted pale sedimentary strata, the same color as the bare rock all around — may be the result of a fairly very high pressure, density, and temparature air burst plasma torch tornado that was stationary for a few minutes.

Somehow I don’t recall this post, nor this article. If I had, the name Metzger would probably have meant more ot me as I read some of Surovells’ papers on Clovis Man and mammoths.
The abstract includes this, “Although few Clovis sites contain evidence of an immediate post-Clovis occupation, interpreting that absence as population collapse is problematic because the great majority of Paleoindian sites also lack immediately succeeding occupations.”
This is actually correct, as far as it goes.
Dennis Stanford a few years back pointed out that the great majority of Clovis sites were NOT out west, but were in the East and SE of the USA. At the time that was a revelation for me.
Whenever mammoths are mentioned, the attention is always out West, and that is hogwash. But there is SOME East-West balance restored when NOT mentioning mammoths. Eastern sites ARE mentioned.
That being the case, George, do you have anything in your own head about Clovis sites in the East in terms of last dates of occupation?
I can look it up, but I want this discussed here, so am posting…
Now to read the whole paper linked here. I used the link just above the window.

Hi Pierson –
They could be older than 10,900 BCE as well. We won’t know until they are dated.
Dear Grondine
Yes you are right, many Paleolagoons may be even older.
If you consider that other changes in the Pleistocene climate may be associated with other cosmic events, in another series of frequency, or this same.

Near your home such a structure may exist.
The search continues!
