TLDR
Oxygen isotopic, radiocarbon, and micropaleontological analysis of deep-sea cores from the northeastern Gulf of Mexico identify an episode of rapid ice melting and sea-level rise at about 9600 years B.C, which coincides with the age of the Valders ice readvance and with the Age of Plato to the flood he describes.
