Swimming Reptiles may be gone, but waters of their ocean remains! Thirty-five million years ago, that’s the Eocene to you, an asteroid or comet hit the earth making a 137 km diameter hole which now makes up a lot of Chesapeake Bay.

But… While fracturing 11 km depth of bedrock, the impact event managed to seal off an old reservoir of sea water, preserving it much like an ancient bug in amber.
