deep water = less ejecta?
OK...so the Chicxulub crater is shallow because the bolide hit in deep
water...thus sending massive water into the atmosphere and, at the same
time, cushioning the blow to underlying solid materials. Do we now have to
downgrade the amount of re-entering ejecta and associated fire storms, heat
pulse, and toasting as a killing mechanism?
