  abstract = {<p>Korbar, McDonald, Fu{\'c}ek, Fu{\v c}ek, and Posilovi{\'c} (2017) report a tsunamite, triggered by the Chicxulub impact on Yucatan, from the Likva Cove carbonate platform of the Island of Bra{\v c}, Croatia, which is similar to that in an earlier report from the nearby Island of Hvar (Korbar et al., 2015). If true, such deposits in the Adriatic Sea would be truly anomalous given that no tsunamites are identified in well-preserved Cretaceous{\textendash}Palaeogene (K{\textendash}Pg) sections from the Basque-Cantabric Basin (Bidart, Zumaia, Hendaye and Sopelana sections), which are located more proximal and towards the hypothetical tsunami wave propagation front. We strongly question the authors{\textquoteright} criteria for identifying the presumed {\textquotedblleft}tsunamite{\textquotedblright} as well as the K{\textendash}Pg boundary (KPB) age attributed to these deposits based on planktic foraminifera.\&nbsp; <a href="https://geoweb.princeton.edu/research/keller/pubs/Font_et_al-2017-Terra_Nova.pdf" target="_blank">PDF</a></p>
