Mike, I knew you weren't talking extinction event type impacts, I just brought this info to light for those you would find it of interest since the topic at hand was about impacts, hot or cold, and I happen to just recall I had reference to it.
Since the talk is about meteorite impacts in general being hot,cold, or "just right" --
I thought it would be sort of relevant even if by a stretch. :-) Mal At 03:38 PM 7/30/2007 -0700, Michael Farmer wrote:
