Hi all - Looks to me like vaporization of impactor, the bits falling back to ground several hundred kilometers away. I think there will be a search for an iron impact in that range. Maybe survivals of fossil irons, ala Canyon Diablo, but Canada is not as dry as Arizona. we'll see... E.P.

E.P., All, Well, that hardly seems likely; no crater-forming mechanism would create iron pellets of ejecta such as what occurred on those tusks, and the likelihood of their being caused by a low-altitude airburst, though intriguing, seems physically impossible, at least if we're talking about a

I also agree. Any airburst or cratering event sufficiently energetic to create Meteor-Crater-esque iron spherules and fire them, still smoking, into mammoth tusks, should result in more definite signs of concussion and heat damage to the other bones. We should be finding, in conjunction

Hello Tracy, All, I agree, but the main problem is that the spherule-type material from Canyon Diablo wasn't fired out of anything; it condensed out of a cloud of vapour that formed as a result of the meteorites vaporization upon impact. They weren't necessarily hot to any appreciable degree when
