first there is a normal flowing Colorado River channel in an ancient time frame
The result of this research is a topographic map of the Arlis Plateau, a seamount on which deep, parallel-running furrows can be discerned on the upper plateau and the sides – and over an area of 2500 square kilometres and to an ocean depth of 1200 metres. "We knew of such scour marks from places like the Antarctic and Greenland. They arise when large ice sheets become grounded on the ocean floor and then scrape over the ground like a plane with dozens of blades as they flow.

As I do not think there is any proof that ice can exert enough pressure on rocks to cut these grooves, and round and smooth such huge boulders, then it seems that most likely all their assumptions are completely wrong about the origin of the glacial features in the northern hemisphere too.
