AWest and Chicxulub
There's plenty of information available elsewhere concerning the Chicxulub (K-T) meteor crater. It is the impact which has been linked to the extinction of dinosaurs and large mammals about 65 million yrs ago.
Most meteor impacts leave a very distinctive mark, usually a fairly round and regular dip in the Earth. The edge of the newly hewn bowl is usually a raised ridge. Besides depositing the mineral properties contained within the stone and ice, the compression of the impact, the temperature of the meteor, etc, also play a role on how a strike influences the location.
I currently agree that Chicxulub must have created the Gulf of Mexico, but I've always wondered where the rest of the circle is. I believe the answer is related to the demise of Atlantis.

 [1] This is of course the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea as we know them today. |

 [4] ...leaving a mostly characteristic circular hole and likely breaking the land mass enough to allow the oceans to fill in. Considering sudden flows and sediment, I presume that after a time there was a very large crater lake remaining, not yet open enough to be a gulf. The Yucatan's continued presence despite the huge impact is unexplained by science. |

 [2] I believe that prior to the Chicxulub impact, there was a sizeable land mass connecting North and South America. |

I am to understand that this location was chosen as a power station site because of the accessibility of the Earth's core from here. Certainly there was no need to break through and touch the interior of the Earth physically and Chicxulub didn't do that either. However, the meteor did knock a sizeable chunk of surface material away from the crust.

 [3] The meteor appears to have struck here... |

 [5] I believe the Nautilus Wave during the destruction of Atlantis was responsible for the disintegration of most of the rest of this area. The meteor impact had already hollowed it out more thoroughly than AEast. Magnetic residue from Atlantis' destruction may explain the S curvature of the connecting isthmus. |

Science believes that indeed there was at one time a broad ocean passage here, before the complete formation of the Isthmus of Panama (re)connecting North and South America. As I understand it, this would have been the case immediately following the demise of Atlantis. The rush of ocean through this pass may have pushed the Yucatan Peninsula into its current position, placing it partially over the Chicxulub crater.
Now what would happen if a very wide passageway were to suddenly open up between the Pacific and Atlantic, especially with force behind it and thus adding unnatural power and volume to the water's usual flow eastward? Just off-hand, I'd say it would create a rather large Flood, global in fact. It might also disturb the ocean currents to such an extent that warm and cold waters drastically changed circulation patterns, affecting the polar ice caps, causing further flooding.
