Thanks for the actual paper, I enjoyed it and will archive it for later use.

Stalemate

Two things quickly come to mind
Paper said 1The time frame indicated by the embedded ejecta and capping tonstein at Tanis overlaps with arrival times calculated for seismic waves generated by the Chicxulub impact, a peculiar coincidence that suggests the impact played a causative role in triggering the Tanis depositional event


Paper said 2.The most common spherule size range at Tanis (0.3 to 1.4 mm) is reminiscent of the average size expected in the Western Interior relative to distance from the crater and is comparable to ejecta from nearby outcrops. The infrequent, large-sized outliers at Tanis are similar in size to the lowest size ranges from proximal localities such as El Mimbral and Beloc. However, they are much smaller than the average or largest examples from those localities.
Although repeated reworking might explain the isolated spherule occurrences in the deposit, other observations suggest that primary air-fall deposition has been recorded in several horizons.

I learned a lot from the paper, mostly about local seiche, and the tools used for analysis are interesting, there were no data provided which demonstrate awareness of other potential signatures being analyzed, and will contact the primary author at the email address provided.

Bottom line likely conclusion "Moreover, we demonstrate that the depositional event, calculated to have coincided with the arrival of seismic waves from Chicxulub, likely resulted from a seismically coupled local seiche."
