Among other things, the idea that material from a supernova would condense into a "comet like object", that this 10-kilometer wide "comet like object" struck North America 13,000 years ago. Two absurdities right there. And that little iron particles would reach the ground traveling at ten thousand kilometers per second. And that little iron particles traveling at 10,000 kilometers per second would just make tiny craters in something that they struck. And that a shotgun pellet fired at 1,000 kilometers per hour couldn't penetrate a piece of fossil ivory. And I'm sure that there are plenty of other idiotic parts to it if you dig down. ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
