The tiniest elements and all the rest that comprise our Earth have been around since the stars, supernova, that spat them out.

If you have a better explanation I'm all ears.
Whilst the others such as Gold and Uranium, the elements that are the most neutron-rich, probobly require a process called rapid neutron capture to come about, which Scientists have long suspected are come about when neutron stars kilonova.

And yet we manage to mine these heavier coalesced elements down here without failure.
Greenland is a special case though, we have ice cores from there going back many thousands of years. Getting an accurate date from the impact site itself might be impossible, but what might be possible is if the impactor included materials not commonly deposited every year in Greenland, and then a layer of unusual deposits is found, which gets thicker when you get closer to the impact crater, wouldn't that be a pretty good sign that particular layer in the ice core is a sign of when the impactor hit? Then it's a question of how accurately you could date that layer of the ice core, which may not be perfect but it might be better than you think. That said, I haven't yet seen a reliable source for the date and would be interested to see it if anybody else has.

It’s impossible to know the exact date. Anyone telling you that is a conman trying to sell you something or a crazy person.
You are asking for a year of the biblical flood that took out most of humanity.
Graham Hancock is not a conman and the closest he gets is 12,500 years ago. If he’s within 1000 years, that’s pretty damn accurate. In his books Fingerprints of the Gods and Magicians of the Gods he goes deep into these theories.
Try those instead of asking for a day.
Interesting climate record from 11,000 to 15,000 years ago in Greenland:
Studies of isotopes and various atmospheric constituents in the core have revealed a detailed record of climate variability reaching more than 100,000 years back in time.
We observe many supernovae. The best observation may have been in 1987 where it was observed not only visible light, but also in other frequencies, and even our neutrino particle detectors observed the event, before we could see the light.

That's theoretical too though. No one's been able to observe a supernova anymore than they've been able to observe a blackhole ... or even if it 'is'. They only see what they can guess at.
The overall energy in these neutrinos was truly astounding. In the initial second of the event, as we noted earlier in our general discussion of supernovae, their total luminosity exceeded the luminosity of all the stars in over a billion galaxies. And the supernova generated this energy in a volume less than 50 kilometers in diameter! Supernovae are one of the most violent events in the universe, and their light turns out to be only the tip of the iceberg in revealing how much energy they produce.
In 1987, the neutrinos from SN 1987A were detected by two instruments—which might be called “neutrino telescopes”—almost a full day before Shelton’s observations. (This is because the neutrinos get out of the exploding star more easily than light does, and also because you don’t need to wait until nightfall to catch a “glimpse” of them.)
