[meteorite-list] Photographs of Hibbens at Fairbank Mucks
E.P. Grondine posted on Fri, 08 Dec 2017 >Hi Paul - > > https://1f9hwg1wionh254zdu2abfkg-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/cosmic-tusks-in-nature.pdf The full article is: Hagstrum, J.T., Firestone, R.B., West, A., Weaver, J.C. and Bunch, T.E., 2017. Impact-related microspherules in Late Pleistocene Alaskan and Yukon “muck” deposits signify recurrent episodes of catastrophic emplacement. Scientific Reports, 7, no. 16620. It is wonderful to see that this topic is being argued in the scientific literature instead of in popular books full of factual errors about the Spokane Floods, loess, and megafloods along with fictional claims about Atlantis. >With the recovery of these photographs, Hibbens' wife's >diary, and Geist's fossils, will you now consider retracting >all of your comments on Hibbens' and his research? No. the pictures and diary are still, by modern standards, horribly poor and inadequate documentation of his ideas, which was part of the times. Except for the spherules, Hagstrum et al. (2017) make a number of assertions that not backed up by any detailed taphonomic analysis of the animal and plant remains and sedimentologic analysis of the muck. I hope this paper encourages someone to do so and test their (Hibben's) hypothesis in due time and publish the results in print. Unfortunately, I am working on other stuff and will not have the time in the near future to be that person. There is an interesting blog about this paper at: Comet Research Group Publishes New Article Reviving Catastrophist Claims about Frozen Mammoths in Alaskan Muck http://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/comet-research-group-publishes-new-article-reviving-catastrophist-claims-about-frozen-mammoths-in-alaskan-muck Yours, Paul H. __ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
[meteorite-list] New Late-Quaternary Records from Two Carolina Bays in North Carolina
There is an interesting new paper in Quaternary Science Reviews. It is: Spencer, J., Jones, K.B., Gamble, D.W., Benedetti, M.M., Taylor, A.K. and Lane, C.S., 2017. Late-Quaternary records of vegetation and fire in southeastern North Carolina from Jones Lake and Singletary Lake. Quaternary Science Reviews, 174, pp. 33-53. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0277379117303141 In part the abstract reads; "We conducted fossil pollen, charcoal, and geochemical analyses of sediment cores from Jones Lake and Singletary Lake spanning the last ∼50,000 cal yr BP to examine the linkages between climate, vegetation, and fire activity on the Atlantic Coastal Plain, and particularly emphasize changes since the Last Glacial Maximum." There are two interesting aspects of these cores. 1. Nothing special occurs at the beginning of the Younger Dryas in terms of either changes in lithology, vegetation, or charcoal influx. 2. The sedimentary and palynological records in both bays extend past the beginning of the Younger Dryas at least to circa 50,000 years ago. Thus, contrary to the model of Antonio Zamora, both of these Carolina Bays are significantly older then beginning of the Younger Dryas. This raises some obvious problems with his ideas. In addition, there is complete lack of any abrupt changes in sedimentation or flora at the beginning of the Younger Dryas that a person would expect to accompany a truly catastrophic extraterrestrial event capable of causing a mass extinction. Just some thoughts.

I assume that everyone has heard about the new "Journal of geology" papers as at Burn Paper A new day at the Cosmic Tusk https://cosmictusk.com/9483-2/ As far as the start of the Younger Dryas and the uncertainties of science are concerned, there is: Levac, E., Sandercombe, S. and Chmura, G.L., 2018. The Younger Dryas in palynological records from the northern Northwest Atlantic: Does the terrestrial record lag the marine and air records?. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 490, pp.269-279. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0031018217307514 "Sea-surface and air temperatures started cooling 250 and 110 years before the start of the YD, hence there is a 140 years delay between ocean and atmosphere." and "Vegetation reversals in N. America do not represent the start of cool conditions." How can an impact, no matter how powerful, have started cooling Earth centuries before it happened? This and a lot of other fine-grained inconsistencies constantly give me heretical doubts about what should be a quite appealing and simple explanation of puzzling Quaternary events.

For better or worse, we are just going to have agree to disagree about the need for an apology of any sort and continue any additional discussion of this matter off list, which at least, I will after this post. No need to torture innocent bystanders with this tiresome discourse. You also wrote: >Paul, I am not satisfied with your apology to Hibbens yet. >It is not fair practice in geology to point to something >other than the formation the original researcher saw, and >claim it was what he saw. That is simply bad practice, and >highly unethical, and you need to own up to it. Again, we have to agree to disagree as I stand by what I said and do not understand what is unethical about pointing out the problems with Hibben's research.

[meteorite-list] Drumlin Formation Not Necessarily Evidence Of Catastrophic Events
People have selectively used the ideas of Dr. John Shaw to claim that they are undisputed indicators of catastrophic subglacial floods associated with extraterrestrial impacts. However, in their arguments, they completely either ignore over overlook any other research that strongly indicate that there is a lack of any connection between catastrophic subglacial floods and drumlin formation. Some of this recent research is: Observations from the surge-type glacier Múlajökull in Iceland underpin new modeling results that suggest the glacier's drumlins grow during quiet intervals of normal flow between glacial surges.

[meteorite-list] Some Preliminary Thoughts About New Paper About Putative Saginaw Impact Structure
There is a lot of celebrating, possibly premature, and likely confirmation bias, at the Cosmic Tusk to be seen in "Saginaw Bay fingered by gravity data as ice impact feature" at https://cosmictusk.com/michael_davias_saginaw_bay_crater_impact/ The new paper about the putative Saginaw impact structure being talked about is: Klokočník, J., Kostelecký, J. and Bezděk, A., 2018. The putative Saginaw impact structure, Michigan, Lake Huron, in the light of gravity aspects derived from recent EIGEN 6C4 gravity field model. Journal of Great Lakes Research. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jglr.2018.11.013 In part, they concluded: "We do not see any typical impact crater related to the putative Saginaw Bay impact in terms of (delta)g and Tzz, possibly because of a thick layer of ice at the place and time of the impact." This conclusion ignores past ice sheet reconstructions that completely invalidate this argument as discussed and illustrated in published papers such as Connallon et al. (2017), Larson and Kincare (2009), Luehmann (2015), Kincare and Larson (2009), and Schaetzl et al. (2017). For example, Connallon et al. (2017) illustrates and documents the existence of a broad, sandy delta, the Chippewa delta developed along the shoreline of various stages of Glacial Lake Saginaw, a proglacial lake that occupied the Saginaw Basin between circa 17,000 and 15,000 BP. In addition, two older proglacial lakes, early Glacial Lake Saginaw and Glacial Lake Arkona have been shown to have occupied the Saginaw Basin based upon their relict and well-dated shoreline ridges as discussed by Connallon et al. (2017), Larson and Kincare (2009), Luehmann (2015), and Kincare and Larson (2009), among others. The existence of deltas and recognizable and datable shorelines circa 17,000 and 15,000 BP creates problems for the idea that the Saginaw Basin was created by a hypothetical Younger Dryas impact. First, the existence, preservation, and age of the shoreline features indicate that the Saginaw Basin existed thousands of years before this hypothetical impact occurred. Therefore, this basin cannot be attributed as being the result of such impact. Second, the existence of proglacial lakes and associated landforms indicate that the Saginaw Basin was deglaciated thousands of years before this hypothesized impact. As a result, an imaginary ice cover cannot be used to explain the absence of "typical impact crater" resulting from a proposed Younger Dryas impact. Finally, the presence of 17,000 and 15,000 BP relict lake landforms demonstrates that neither glaciers nor extraterrestrial impactors have modified the Saginaw Basin since their formation. Thus, a person can reasonably refute either the formation or disturbance of the Saginaw Basin by a hypothetical Younger Dryas impact as argued by Klokočník et al. (2018) and naively accepted by Zamora (2017). Klokocník et al. (2018) concluded: "But the strike angles theta are well combed (oriented more or less in one direction). This may be a trace of high pressure due to the impacting body (Fig. 8). For this reason, we do not write ‘a requiem for the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis’ (see Pinter et al., 2011)." Even if this gravity interpretation is correct, any impact that might be associated with the Saginaw Basin must predate the age of known proglacial glacial lakes that are documented have filled it. Therefore, it would be much too old to be useful as an argument either for or against the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis. How the gravity data is interpreted is totally irrelevant to any discussion of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis. In fact, I suspect that Mr. Michael Davias would prefer a much older age -around 790,000 BP for any such impact. Klokocník et al. (2018) concluded: "We present a new approach, based on recent, high quality gravity data and on the use of a set of the gravity aspects, which is not widely applied yet; thus, it is novel. With the traditional gravity anomalies only, we would not discover anything new." Given the absence of any unique indicators of an extraterrestrial impact, I would tend believe that like many "novel" techniques, this new way of interpreting gravity data needs to be significantly fine-tuned. Also, I suspect that "traditional gravity anomalies" failed to detect anything because there is nothing likely to be found. I have looked over the putative Saginaw Bay impact and yet to find anything substantive to collaborate the proposal that it is an impact crater of any sort, much an event capable of creating a massive tektite field halfway around the world as envisioned by Mr. Michael Davias and others. For example, and examination of the publicly available (and online logs of oil, gas, and water wells, would show a complete absence of the type of bedrock crater and deformation that such an impact would incur if it in fact created a massive tektite field as argued.
