... difficult as many Mars features don't look like anything on Earth'. Mercury's Catastrophic Wobble New Scientist 30.6 .01, p. 6 Computer simulations on the Solar System over the past 250Myrs have led to suggestions that the orbit of Mercury wobbled 65Myrs ago and may have been responsible for sending to Earth the asteroid which wiped out the dinosaurs. Mark Bailey thinks this unlikely and the computer researchers do admit that it is hard to model the workings of the Solar System millions of years ago particularly since the planets seem to move more chaotically the further back you go'.

132. The Mammoths' Demise - a correct solution requires more facts [Journals] [SIS Review]
... undergo a change of axis within historical time. In accepting that a tilt occurred, evidence of stress on the Earth's crust should be evident. Stress and compression formations indicative of a change of Earth's axis should be visible where changes in velocity have caused stress within the Earth's crust [10, 11, 12]. The Demise of the Dinosaurs This movement of the continental crust in response to the stresses about the North Pole may have been the cause of the extinction of the mammoths. In Siberia there would have been an over-run of the continental crust as friction reduced the crust's velocity at the position of the new North Pole. In northern North America, friction of the oceanic ...

... in itself, however, still defies an understanding of its triggering mechanism. [36] In 1977, Canadian mainstream scholars were the first to consider celestial bodies as the agents of mass-extinction on the earth within geological time [37]. Two years later, father and son Alvarez and their collaborators applied this approach to the termination of the dinosaurs [38]. Since then, an unending stream of publications has been devoted to the subject of catastrophic mass-extinctions [39]. In 1982, two British mainstream astronomers, Victor Clube and William Napier, were the first post-Darwinists to postulate global catastrophes within historical time [40]. Soon, they found brothers-in-arms for that endeavour [ ...
134. The Extinction of the Mammoth by Charles Ginenthal (Book Review). C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to climate change. It is a shame that we have taken so long to review this book, which I would recommend for all those who have found the last decade's enthusiasm for cosmic catastrophe' in the form of the now acceptable asteroid impact, rather less than satisfactory. A large impact in Yucatan may well explain the demise of the dinosaurs but how many of us are still awaiting a reasonable explanation for the extinction of the mammoth? No establishment attempts ever cut any ice with those who have had a taste of Velikovskian catastrophism and Ginenthal shows us exactly why, at the same time proffering a detailed explanation and a radical new time scale. He enthuses us once again to ...

... Seas, and eastern Korea. We must also think of examining concave arcuate coasts such as the Gulf of Mexico or the Great Australian Bight."[10] In 1981, Fred Whipple suggested Iceland as the site of the giant meteor impact which, striking the volcanically active ocean ridge, initiated the finale of the Cretaceous period, its dinosaurs, and its marine life [11]. A year later, Sky and Telescope [12] reported the discovery of a double ring of magnetic anomalies of 60 and 180 kilometer diameters, in Yucatan. The anomalous magnetized rocks are about 1100 feet deep and assigned to Late Cretaceous which makes it, too, a candidate for extincting ...
136. Footprints. Ch.14 Extinction (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... From "Earth in Upheaval" © 1955 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Footprints In numerous places and in various formations are found footprints of animals of prehistoric times. Those of dinosaurs and other animals are clearly impressed in rock. The accepted explanation is that these animals walked on muddy ground, and their imprints were preserved as the ground became hard and stony. This explanation cannot stand up against critical examination. On muddy ground one may find impressions of the hoofs of cattle or horses. But the very next rain will smudge these impressions, and after a short while they will be there no more. If we do not find the hoof prints of cattle ...

... to the British Museum of Natural History staging exhibitions on evolution along non-conventional, anti-Darwinist lines. Recently this same person has managed to get himself a lot of publicity, fortunately not all of it favourable. NATURE, 20/11/80, p.208 carried a letter by him, attacking two of the exhibits, that on "Dinosaurs and Living Relatives" (1979) and that on "Man's Place in Evolution" (1980). He found the "cladistic" approach and the denial of gradualism objectionable, asserting that the denial of gradualism had its basis in the revolutionary approach, i.e . Marxism. NATURE, 4/12/80, p ...

... . On the other hand, mutations provide the raw material 103 on which natural selection acts. If there were no mutations, there would be no genetic inventory of possible adaptations to future environmental changes" (emphasis added). Shklovskii then reiterated his earlier suggestion, put forth with V. I. Krasovskii, that the extinction of the dinosaurs may have been the result of an increase in cosmic ray intensity, though the possible shortcomings of this hypothesis were also recognized. It was conceded, however, that "prolonged increase in the background high-energy radiation dose would not necessarily be fatal to all living organisms. Perhaps such an exposure would be favorable for the evolution of certain life ...

... , heaped together with millions of shattered trees. In Alaska the conglomeration is known as "muck," and it is deposited across the entire northern part of the state, forming a frozen mass longer than the Atlantic seaboard from Newfoundland to Florida. Perhaps the most famous mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago. At that time, the dinosaurs, which were by far the most successful animals in the history of the world, having dominated the planet, we hear, for over 150 million years, died out completely and suddenly (estimates range from a million years- barely a second on the geological clock- to a single day, with neither extreme being more or less ...
