St Martin laid in one of the layers of shale oil now being mined in North Dakota, while the Red Wing laid in another...the oil companies have determined that the oil is layered, and at least two of the largest layers, do not communicate. This means that the oil was accumulated into shale from different times. In effect these layers can be properly characterized as chronologically old, and younger from an event much closer to our time. St Martin was near 7 times larger than Red Wing, if the data from the database is accurate. The distance from ND to St Martin is mice nuts when you consider the speed of super cavitating waves, racing outward from a blasts local impact and able to travel at or above 10km per second. As stated elsewhere on this thread, nucleation occurs within the vacuum of the traveling wave, its distribution is determined by many variables, among them are the original size & speed of impactor, type of impactor, local strata, and the time to completion of its energy cycle. We have calculations about certain effects of these cryptoexplosions..but certainty about even the data produced from those extrapolations is suspect. A 40 kil impactor might release the energy equivalent of 7 billion, Hiroshima explosions.....any thoughts about explosions of that size, are difficult, the effects of said blasts reduce to a single bottom line, nothing survives, everything changes. Nucleation is the only certainty, from these cryptoexplosions. Oil and other minerals are just by products of the many variables, known and unknown..
