Multi-ringed depressions beneath Hudson Bay imitate impact craters

Nothing to see here… Well, other than a “± 2 km long depression”, a “significant number of pockmarks” – “< 200 m in diameter and 10 m deep "with an average diameter of 100 m and an average depth of 10 m", and "abundant circular ring-like features" – "< 200 m in diameter and 10 m deep".

From when?

"The very good state of preservation of both the pockmarks and the ring structures and the fact that they attenuate iceberg scours suggest that they have been formed recently (after deglaciation, i.e., after ~8500 years)."

Cue Mark Boslough: "There's no evidence anything significant has hit the planet at any time in human history. Really. Huh? What? Why don't you believe me? "

I see similarities for some of them with the “potholes” of the Scablands of Harlan Bretz. I think from the linked image, the sizes are in the same range. Maybe not, but they look about the same size. e.g., https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/48/d7/53/48d7534c44c247625f2ec04f07d3b917.jpg

Those potholes are asserted for now to have been carved by vortices in the aging waters of the ice dam break at Lake Missoula.

How the two could be connected, I have no good suggestion. Raging waters in one region and WHAT? in the other.

Just sayin’ . . .

Just following a tangent…

It is a stretch, but the Scabland raging waters comment above may have some cause – kind of the OPPOSITE of an ice dam break.

The Storegga Landslide of the western shore of Norway was just to the north along the Norwegian coastline from the area of pockmarks there. Obviously a tremendous tsunami followed, much bigger than the landslide-induced 2004 Sumatran tsunami. Storegga I believe was the largest submerged landslide on record.

Which begs the question if tsunamis cause potholes/pockmarks.

Again, just sayin’, but the connection seems not IMpossible. Sometimes such similarities lead to interesting ideas.

But those pockmarks have nothing to do with Hudson Bay.

I had to look around at the tracks mapped by the research ship, and it took me a while to find any pockmark possibilities. I found some in this image: http://www.omg.unb.ca/Projects/Arctic/basemaps/62_00_N_88_00_W_BATHY.gif

And: http://www.omg.unb.ca/Projects/Arctic/basemaps/61_45_N_88_00_W_BATHY.gif

At the same time, the images are low-res, and small roundish features don’t really show anything. Being a .jpg file, zooming in after copying the images to my hard drive doesn’t show anything clearly. The swaths seem to measure about 1-km wide.

Given that some of the swath images show dimpled areas, it gives the impression that the image processing might be creating artifacts in the processing – stuff that may or may not be there except after image processing. I don’t know.

Not much in this thing to go on.

The authors don’t even give coordinates for the images they purloined, either.

Yesterday, while reading a “new” book “Har-Moad”, I found out there was another person who has the same views. Rev. O. D. Miller D.D. via the Chinese, Sumerian, and Egyptian texts puts the dawn of Man at 12,500 yrs. BP plus 124 years since printing. Last paragraph of 371 : https://archive.org/stream/harmoadormountai00mill#page/370/mode/2up And at the top of page 373 states that Virgo was the solar constellation on the Vernal Equinox as my drawing on the chalkboard. https://sites.google.com/site/fromthedeepoceanabove/ Miller can be a bit hard to follow in the way he portrays the way precession works, he superimposes the signs on the constellations with one static and the other regressing. Also, at the end of 281 https://archive.org/stream/harmoadormountai00mill#page/280/mode/2up he alludes to Creation and the Deluge in the same general time period. In another part he actually states it as a fact as I have said that the Younger Dryas Impact Catastrophe precedes Creation, even though there may have been a second flood. The ancient cosmogonies speak of utter chaos and then the sky separating from Earth as the atmospheric veil cleared so to speak. Beyond that, about all Man can recall is that it was like paradise and there were ten antediluvian kings which most probably are the original ten constellations. Anyhow, I find it fascinating that some figured this out before the modern age and still far too many haven’t a clue today or glaze over as soon as one talks about it. Must be Earth Vapors that cause those complex craters under water. Can’t possibly be from the sky as the pockmarked face of the Moon stares at us.

As there was another paper (Australian) about how Man ate the Late Pleistocene Extinction animals, how is it that one can possibly believe this theory? I just can’t help but to imagine Man swimming into giant beaver dens to kill off every last one of there kind! Or catching and hunting down every last towering stork to extinction with obsidian and branches. When the white Man came to America there were seas of buffalo, yet the Clovis killed off all the really large ones because they were more of a challenge! Plus the climate got warmer which would provide more verdure which certainly would help to reduce the numbers, right? I for some reason can not imagine how the cogs and wheels turn in others, it is as if everyone knows what really happened and as soon as someone brings the truth up they retort with some obscure notion to mislead and stand by it with maybe a mathematical equation and a poker face.

The space debris intersecting with the Earth and the world wide ancient stories that we were being killed from above along with the Carolina bays and other craters, plus many other indicators all seem to fit and support each other yet the majority stand by their theory with as many holes as a tin can at a gun range. It bends the mind at how obtuse some can be. Some if not most of the ancient stories are basically verbatim of the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis and dates that line up to the evidence that none could have known would be found that correlate to the exact time! I bet time travel back to make the stories fit would have a greater following.

and from amazon, I picked up Bard’s book – Ocean Deep…

I’m slowly getting there…and thanks to all for just a great website…..

I lived in the Scabland area for about 20 years (Columbia River valley, etc). The area is just breathtaking when you know the real story. Graham’s video is wonderful but then reading the Roadside Geology books and touring the area is an experience one never forgets. Standing beside 20 ft high rocks in the middle of a grain field is such an OMG moment…Its a vacation into itself.

Especially the break out point in Lewiston/Clarkson area. The scale is huge which is probably why it took the 20th century space pictures to see the whole story….

Just a thought. . .

Bard: “Can’t possibly be from the sky as the pockmarked face of the Moon stares at us.”

Damn, that actually puts a possible explanation for that into my head. It MIGHT even connect with why the same face of the Moon always faces the Earth.

Yeah, yeah, the uniformitarians have their explanation, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah…

Try this one, guys (probably ridiculous):

Michael Davias and Tim Harris have their 780,000ya Australian Tektite/Saginaw Bay/Carolina bays idea, and in that, the first stage ejecta goes WAAAAY high. They have it ejecting at just below escape velocity. I thought that last perhaps was a bit too GOldilocks – ejecta at just the right velocity to NOT escape, and to come back down, way around on the othe side of the planet.

Now, their ejecta went like REEEEEEEAAAAALY high, like super way out in space, before coming back down.

1.) Okay, now let’s conjure up another impactor (maybe more than one over time) that had enough energy to impart MORE than escape velocity.
2.) That shouldn’t be outside rational possibility – since we find rocks that are said to have come from Mars or the Moon.
3.) Now size the impactor big enough to do that – send a LOT of ejecta out of Earth’s gravity well.
4.) Now have that happen when the moon is passing on an intercept course.
5.) And let us posit a ROTATING Moon
6.) Craters on the moon – from Earth rocks?
7.) Now, make the impact energy sufficient that a LOT of Earth rocks hit the rotating Moon – all at pretty much the same time.
8.) Would there be a chance that all those hitting the moon at once could STOP the Moon’s rotation?

Just thinking. . .

And MAYBE the event happened WITH the Davias-Harris tektite impactor, in such a way that SOME of the ejecta was below the escape velocity of Earth and some was faster.

I’d suspect that perhaps such an impactor would need to be traveling at comet velocities (max 70km/sec), rather than a meteor (max velocity about 40 km/sec), just to impart that much energy into the ejecta.

How’s that for a wild idea? Kill two birds with one stone – three, in fact. Explain why the Moon’s craters predominate so much on the side facing earth. And also provide a possible mechanism for the Moon’s facing the Earth all the time. I don’t really accept that the tidal theory could provide such a perfect rotation of the Moon of one rotation to one revolution. I don’t see tides working on the solid Moon. No other moon in the solar system does that. This catastrophic explanation gets rid of the Goldilocks “just right” balance of forces and roatations.

David:
“I would think also, the arkies and anthros just refuse to talk about the 30 or so plant species that disappeared at the same time”

It is not often mentioned, but lots went extinct on the Eurasian side of the pond, also.

Terence – VERY good info about the black mat, sir!

The pingos – are those methane hydrate outbursts?

It’s ironic, that those are from underneath. Some theories of the Carolina bays talk about subsurface processes. There is still no universally accepted explanation for the CBs, though.

Steve you are not dealing with the waters marks on the Moon or how so much nearly “sterile ” ( except thin layers of megafauna ) just under the moon dirt and debris from the moon. How all that got on the earth 6 ft down from one side to the other plus parts of Europe out to Catalina an then How that same moon dirt was then washed over by 6 ft or so of nearly sterile sand ( except thin layers of megafauna .
all this based on three bad lies..
one lie
by christians, that there was only one flood .

by scientism theories of uniformitarianism based only on what they think their eyes see.

and lies http://03a9ef9.netsolhost.com/duanemcc/atlanstry.htm by historians or maybe it’s was linguist that made the lie about Plato time tables. it was the historians who made lies about Sumerian tablets and linguist who mistranslate the Mayan so called calendar . so it could be either of them spur on by bad anthropologist and their magic time machines. .
Lies created usually by people who mock Plato’s story but believe firmly only in the lie the mockers created about His supposed time lines of 9000 years and that was not what was told to Plato and not what Plato quoted either or just maybe maybe it was all so innocent and that has just been mistranslated and not on purpose . I will guess it would be 900 years not 900 months. and certainly not 9000 years ! which 900 years would put it squarely in the time range of the bronze age collapse.

all these ignorant men did it on purpose or not but were these helping each other to created the biggest lies and cover ups and down right thievery ever.

I came up with using “Hamlet’s Mill”. He has several books out there, all dealing with mythology. Also, look at “the lost light – ancient scriptures”.

Bard –

Interesting points you make…
“My first guess is that the Moon was basically almost always locked in facing us from when it cooled from the latest theory of its formation, being that the iron formed off center toward the gravity of the Earth”

With all the other system moons having rotation, you gotta know that that doesn’t satisfy me. Layers form by gravity during the molten stage, when the less dense ones float to the top and the more dense ones sink – which is why we don’t have Iridium at the Earth’s surface. Too dense.

But to have it be ROUND, that all has to happen while it is spinning, no? And why would the iron settle in off-center? I am guessing that is someone else’s speculation that you prefer. No problem with you preferring one idea over another. It helps to settle on one to then plop facts into and see if it can hold all of the facts.

I am totally in a ???? open mind on this.

The one paper I read after finding the Allende meteorite info, it told that it apparently takes X km radius for a planet to differentiate (settle into layers and form a core and mantle. That was the moment in time when I saw the flaws in the planetary nebula theory. And I read up on peridotite and how its existence MUST be from having a narrow range of both pressure and temperature – neither of which can exist in the nebula. None of the differentiation things seems to fit your thing about the iron core being off center. Did you get that from someone else? (I think so)

Steve – Really never gave it much thought until you mentioned it, was just winging it. You surely know about the Giant-Impact Hypothesis, I can’t seem to find a good spinning simulation video that doesn’t bring up too much of the accretion tangent. This video shows it more solidified alike some kind of lava lamp experiment : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7QdA3SaTKg The rock would float on the surface and the iron (metal) would be toward the center so when it cooled there would be deeper rock on the backside because the Earth would be pulling harder on the more dense metal core… Then (and during) the rest of the debris would accrete to both bodies because of their already sufficient mass, providing a gravity trap, and some to the other planets and the Sun plus probably some still not finding ‘home’. This video is good for the later part : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2msFzwil5HM So the result would be as an hard boiled egg with the yoke not exactly centered. All of this (just thought of) tips the scale toward the “Big Spalsh” than to the capture theory. I really haven’t put much effort into educating myself on moons, but my favorites are the ones around Mars with massive trauma, I couldn’t tell you if they spin or not. Re-reading your post about “ROUND”, maybe the lava lamp and liquid in zero gravity concepts will help. I’m with you on the small side of the accretion problem, but once a mass achieves enough gravity then 51%+ of 51%+ of in-comings would not escape unless there is a tragic stike. What that threshold of gravity is, is beyond my math skills, somewhere smaller than the smallest ROUND known moon. Or, isn’t Apotheosis mostly round? Here’s a great one ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn5KuSHguUE Now, if they would do one with say mercury and water together! I would think the water would surround the mercury as the rock would to the metal…

Bard – Not sure what you mean by this: “Giant-Impact Hypothesis”. Can you clarify?

Yeah, they push the accretion 100%, and steer everybody there. So you can’t get far into anything without having to deal with that and hopefully glean something of value that they don’t realize they are giving away.

***
FYI, I discovered something new – to me, anyway – that most moons in the solar system are “tidally locked” to the parent, and have one side facing the parent at all times. Like the Moon. I had thought that the Moon was unique. Evidently I was way wrong on that. I stand corrected. So, take my silly idea (and I knew it had almost no chance of being right, but wanted to give it a test flight.

Miracle stacked upon miracle – but they’ve got nothing else.

Some religion they’ve got going there. At least they keep their priests in line! LOL

Bard – “…I’m with you on the small side of the accretion problem, but once a mass achieves enough…”

But it’s the early part that I contend can’t happen. Small objects = micro-infinitesimal gravity.

As Paul mentions, the Philae lander landing at only 1.0 meter/sec all but escaped, never to return. 1.0 m/sec = 0.001 km/sec. There is NOTHING out there going to impact another moving body at less than that. And, HELL, the body it was trying to land on was NOT a fellow ~5-foot body. Shrink the target to 5 kilograms. See how well the Philae lander does. Then try 5 grams.

The EARLY period is when it is all DUST. Like micrograms. Like pico-G gravity. There is no way that dust not only aggregates. Nothing would land on anything else. They’d all be either bouncing off each other or smashing each other to smithereens – into even SMALLER dust motes. And smaller does not at all translate into larger.

‘Earth is 4.5 billion years old’ is a theory that can never, ever be proven. It is ABSURD to claim it as fact, yet, like chattering parrots, everyone does. And true archaeological discovery is being buried in the same complex, theoretical, geological bulls*it. Why? Who benefits? That’s easy: The long-reigning status quo that supports all ruthless acts: DARWINISM.

Linda – anything over 1 million years ago is +/-100,000 years, maybe +/-250,000 years. Billions? It’s based on sedimentary rock layers physically counted – but only up to a point (like tree-rings can only take you back so far).

Yes, Darwinism is a sticking point. When Lyell et all found out they had a nearly unlimited amount of time in which to “put” everything, they probably had mental gasms of ecstasy. So they just kept pushing things back and back and back. After all, who could prove them wrong?

Now, the ages ARE really freaking old, yes. There are no archbishop Ussher “last week” silly dates, either, though, like 4004 BC. There are COUNTED millions of years of sediments. So Ussher is as wrong as he is dead.

For now, we can only roll our eyes at 4.5 billion. Some put it at 4.6 billion, and some at 4.3 billion, but what’s a 100 million years or three among pals?

(My own bugaboo is when they repeat in EVERY comet or asteroid article that “We are seeing a object that dates back to the very beginning of the solar system”. I 100% disagree, for reasons people here are tired of listening to, probably. The entire planetary nebula thing is utter CRAP, from a Newtonian POV.)

Steve – We have been through this on a larger scale with the solar system and you flatly disagree, which I find very plausible. I’ve never liked the dust thing unless the surrounding space was very hot which gets me into a dilemma of not understanding such phenomena as the Horsehead Nebula type images looking alike a resistance in space with boundary layers. Astrophysics must be very interesting yet I haven’t had the pleasure of being that privileged. Your description of a multiple Goldilocks scenario to achieve orbit of the Moon or the planets would seem to me to be essential or they would escape or collide with the remainder that achieved such existence. In other words the Sun was stuck alike the ‘Drop’ idea in clean space and the two provided the imputus to ignite and threw out the iron centered planets which would eventually stop between the gravity of the Sun and escape. Got me, it will probably be one of those great unknown and never coming to a consensus. So if it isn’t dust or drops what else could it be? The Iron drops would be a great attracter… And provide the 51% house advantage. I’m really not so enthralled in knowing where inner solar system space debris originated as in the human history of such interactions.
