Needs to get a barge out there and start yanking sinker cypress.


Probably why the coordinates are being kept under wraps 50k year old virgin sinker cypress would be worth $$$$$$. But yeah there has never been global warming..... pretty crazy to think that sea levels have risen close to 100' since then.

Sounds like the tale is already growing

Based on historic sea level depths, Mimi Fearn, head of the Earth Sciences Department at the University of South Alabama, said the forest was likely 10,000 to 12,000 years old. Research conducted for a scientific paper titled “Sea-level history of the Gulf of Mexico since the Last Glacial Maximum“ suggests a slightly broader range of 8,000 to 14,000 years old, due to the confounding influence of sediments from the Mississippi River.
