This video is fantastic! I live in the panhandle of Florida and have become keen to understand what major events that have taken place in this corner of the country over the history of the earth. I recently became aware of the wetumpka astrobleme and this video is exactly what I was hoping to find. Haha it's been waiting for me to find it for 30 years and I'm 36. Beautiful production!
Isn’t it odd that they just discovered this? I was born and raised in Wetumpka, lived there for 30 years, and now at age 73 they’re just now talking about this thing that happened millions of years ago. That’s Wetumpka.
Well, the. Coleseum in Jackson MS is directly over an 81mya volcano. There was a barrier reef from there to Port St Joe. The sink holes from there up into Escambia Courtney Alaska are due to the Port St Joe transform fault cracking the dolomite bedrock.
It's totally a conspiracy against you. I blocked it because of you. They didn't want you to know and they kept a secret so you were too old to do anything about it. You were sitting here from the future of the Year 4545 to stop this madness but they made your mission fail because you are too weak and too naive to understand what was going on
VERY INTERESTING !! TEN YEARS AGO I VISITED THE ARIZONA CRATER NEAR WINSLOW AND FLAGSTAFF AZ! THIS IS THE FIRST I HEARD OF THE IOWA CRATER, ALSO!! THERE IS AN LOT LESS WATER AND VEGETATION AT THE ARIZONA SITE!
Great video. Lots of interesting background info. Historical compilation regarding just how hard it is to get a paper published about an impact crater.
If you look on google earth there appears to be a circular formation that crosses three states. Al, Ms, Tn and Ga. Is this another impact site and is this circle ejecta?
That circular formation is known as "The Black Belt". A semi-circular area of dark, almost black soil that was famous for growing the best, tallest cotton back in the 1800's. It probably was caused by a huge cosmic impact millions of years ago.
To me, most of the craters we se on the moon are evidence of the asteroids that missed the Earth. The some of the craters on its other side, which we can not see, made by asteroids that would have hit the Earth.
@oliviahodges5161 not here, I looked. Tiny bit at the edge of east Tennessee called the gold dust line and the nearest diamond 💎 is in Arkansas formed in kimberlite pipes from volcanic activity not asteroid impacts. The only silver, gold and diamonds in Alabama are in pawnshops not the ground. Grew up here and I know.
Excellent except for the inexplicably inaccurate depiction of the dinosaur-exterminating asteroid hitting the present-day U.S. East Coast instead of off Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.
My mom & I loved this series...I miss her and sharing it with her.

I never visited Alabama but I'd like to see that beautiful state I must admit.
From the mountains to the beach in 3 hours...we'd love to have you.
The stadium comparison was hilarious 😂 that's Alabama
This is an excellent documentary on something I knew nothing about. First class and thank you.
Very nicely done.
The dude narrating is cool, thanks for the documentary.
I am a musician that lives in Birmingham, and knew nothing about this impact crater.
the most catastrophic thing that ever happened to Alabama is the closing of the Fuzzy Duck -
@@davidrice3337 also, the closing of The Burly Earl. Sad days friend.

Very, very interesting.
1:47 I LOVE THAT BRIDGE its still up today
Hope to visit sometime!
I love my state of Alabama. I live in the foothills and not far from the highest point in the state.
We've got it pretty good in comparison to a lot of other places.
Another one hit in the far NW corner of Iowa. The impact has made it difficult to drill through rock for water wells.
im jw how ?
@@southernscientist5439
I have no idea what your reply means.
@ i was asking how the impact made it harder to drill wells? im just curious, i am not implying anything...just asking
IT COULD HAVE MADE THE ORIGINAL ROCK STRUCTURE HARDER DUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT, OR THE MATERIAL OF THE METEOR IS HARDER ROCK THAN THE NATIVE ROCK BASE!
I was waiting for southbound and down to start playing

Think about all the Indian artifacts covered by lake Weis alone.
Just here to read the comment section
And diamonds, and gold, and silver
Literally, none of that.
@ManMountainMetals yea, there is

@ManMountainMetals Different when you have Almighty God on your side - he shews where his treasures are buried.
Have they found the asteroid itself yet?
The entire state of Alabama is covered in various grades of casting sand. - C.W. Ammen
It’s said asteroids ☄️ bring exotic minerals, rare Earth minerals?
its a collapsed caldera
No
The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎👎💩💩😬

😂 debating things is what we do best❤ hot air wasted😮
didnt know you witnessed it!
