Burckle Crater Claim
Open topicSupporting citation for public claim
Chevron shape alone does not prove tsunami origin.
Answer / theory: No. Chevron shape alone does not prove tsunami origin. What supports it: Critics show that wind processes can explain many chevrons. What is weak or disputed: Some deposits may still deserve case-by-case testing, but the general Burckle argument overrelies on chevrons. Evidence level: Weak Evidence as proof of megatsunami.
