Hi List, I would like to clarify my earlier comments about fossil-bearing impactites being "junk science". This was not directed at the bonafide scientists who are researching this issue. My comments were directed at the Wickramasinghe types and the "Martian Blood Vessels" types. It was brought to my attention that my knowledge of the subject is sorely lacking and that there is legitimate research that has shown the presence of fossil materials in impact glass.
I guess my bias came from the fact that I cannot wrap my head around the idea that intense heat from impact can vaporize or melt rock, but leave fossils intact. It is fascinating stuff. So, if I offended any scientists doing research on this, I apologize.
