Dear Friends, Apparently, there is going to be some interesting papers at the 2007 Joint Assembly of the American Geophysical Union as there will be a session presenting evidence for an impact having occurred during Younger-Dyras times at the "end of the last Ice Age. Below are links to representative abstracts:
1. Evidence for an Extraterrestrial Impact Event 12,900 years ago that Contributed to Megafaunal Extinctions and the Younger Dryas Cooling http://submissions5.agu.org/aguconvener/ConvenerView.asp?ref=1388 2. Formation of the Carolina Bays: ET Impact vs. Wind-and-Water http://submissions5.agu.org/aguconvener/ConvenerView.asp?ref=1334 3. Extraterrestrial Markers Found at Clovis Sites Across North America http://submissions5.agu.org/aguconvener/ConvenerView.asp?ref=1393 4. Is There Evidence for Impact-Triggered Fires at the End Pleistocene? http://submissions5.agu.org/aguconvener/ConvenerView.asp?ref=513 The session itself is " PP05: New Insights into Younger Dryas Climatic Instability, Mass Extinction, the Clovis People, and Extraterrestrial Impacts http://www.agu.org/meetings/ja07/?content=search&show=detail&sessid=159 It looks like Firestone and his supporters are refining their arguments and dropping the implausible ones, i.e. the so-called meteor crater in Lake Michigan, and concentrating on what they regard the basic evidence for their ideas.
