Hello everyone -
Well, the new year find me above ground - And the Neocam is on its way,
Just as a reminder, last year I announced the production of gamma rays in large
hyper velocity impacts.That and $2 will get me a cup of coffee.
As some of you will also recall, I was the first modern scholar to write about
the comet impact that killed off the mammoth and mastodon.I also spent a lot of
time defending Hibbens' work.
My colleague Fletcher Wilson wrote me about a possible new impact structure to
the west of Yellowknife, Alberta.They are tracing the Carolina Bays back to
it.Just as a reminder again, there should be 2 impact structures in Canada, one
the well known Holocene Start Impact Structure,and another from the impact
before that one. This earlier impact is indicated by Meltwater Pulse 1A, and
associated gamma rays and 14C production.I suppose that perhaps there may be
comet debris around these structures, although most of it would have been
carried away,But that should still mean impactites exist - even though the
impacts were on the ice sheet - good hunting, everyone.
The key here is going to be tracing back the meltwater pulses. It would
probably help if the geological society inicluded sessions on impatcs
this year at their meetings.
It is strange that so little work has been done this year on mega-tsunami
deposits on the Atlantic coast.It is much warmer there than in Alberta.(See my
paper on academia for notes on the.archaeology of this one.)
I wish I could get to Tucson this year, but that does not look too likely right
now,Perhaps some publisher will pay for a second edition of "Man and Impact in
the Americas".I am currently living in Vicksburg, Mississippi, the ancient home
of the Yazoo people.
good hunting in the upcoming year -
E.P.
