The original comet image is here, and the related comet comments?
I’ve always heard that a comet made the hole we now call the Gulf of Mexico. Can’t speak to the veracity of the claim, other than to question it, but looking at a global map, the hypothesis carries some degree of verisimilitude.

Theories abound.
Comet would have an impact, not unlike a giant meteor, or better yet, sorry, it’s a Wikipedia entry, the Odessa Crator.
Something to be said for that harsh, West Texas landscape.
