Whooops...Excuse typo of: Just look at the craters on all of those non-atmospheric planets And exchange with: Just look at the craters on all of those non-atmospheric bodies

Why is it that new scientists tend to elect complicated and convoluted reasons for things that are so obvious in nature. (could it be journal time?) Just look at the craters on all of those non-atmospheric planets for evidence that we are, and have always been target fodder for any and every piece of floating rock in the solar system. Unless there is undisputed evidence for the other, the 'flying rock' has to get the honor until someone shows that it was otherwise - conclusively. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul H Sent: Thursday, August 19, 2004 12:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [meteorite-list] Paleocene-Eocene (P-E) Boundary Impact Disputed A recent paper in Earth and Planetary Science Letters disputes interpretations that argue that a major comet impact caused global climatic changes, which coincides with the Paleocene-Eocene (P-E) Boundary. Instead, this paper, Schmitz et al. (2004) concluded: " The environmental perturbations at the Paleocene- Eocene boundary appear to have been triggered by basaltic volcanism, but any model for the detailed causal relation remains speculative." The paper is: Schmitz, B., Peucker-Ehrenbrink, B., Heilmann-Clausen, C., Aberg, G., Asaro, F., and Lee, C-T. A. 2004, Basaltic explosive volcanism, but no comet impact, at the Paleocene-Eocene boundary: high-resolution chemical and isotopic records from Egypt, Spain and Denmark.
