Cretaceous Water

Do you want to taste 35000000 ( Thirty five Million) years old water? The one with such strange wish will not be consider drunken. Scientist have just made it possible by finding an old reservoir of water that dates back to Cretaceous age nearly some 35000000 years old. Amazing discovery. 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. This in itself is an earth event of spectacular importance. Ejecta was sent everywhere, tsunamis pounded the Blue Ridge Mountains, extinction was rampant among marine creatures and land mammals. 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. Again, this is nice, but… But… studies of the salty water found at a depth today of 1km by the USGS deduce that thi...
