Waiting for the day that some news comes of the ongoing investigations
in Hudson Bay, that huge half circle that comprises part of the bay is
striking in its uniformity. If it turns out to be an astroblehme , it
would certainly be the largest ever found. If not, it is the closest
nature has ever come to eroding out an almost perfect half circle in a
coastline. The last I heard about this suspected impact site, was a 3
year old article published by the Canadian Geologic Survey, saying that
it was very difficult drilling core material up there, and it may take a
long time before any kind of analysis is available. I also got the
impression that they were having a hard time funding the work to be
done. I also heard that there was a larger unconformity in the land mass
around the coast (rim?) but there was no definitive evidence that it was
caused by an impatct as yet. Anyone know of the principles involved in
this search, or any new news?
