Hum,
are you sure that the  "spot" between Norway and Iceland isn't the Three Storegga Slides.

Here is an image of the Earth 65 million years ago, (77kb,  750 x 375).

Two more large craters dating from that time are found in the middle of Russia.  

The Shiva crater is a hypothesised impact crater located in the Indian Ocean west of India, that was at the time in the southern hemisphere. It has been suggested that it formed around 65 million years ago and perhaps lead to the formation of the Deccan Traps.

Hum,
i thought the Chicxulub impact site was in a shallow sea.

>>Boltysh Crater

Yeah, i couldn't remember the name...

The deccan traps are dated to 65 million years ago, (the trigger for the massive eruption some suggest is the shiva impact.
