... WORKSHOP 3:1 p.18-19) are mentioned. To this evidence is added that of Alvarez et al in a review article in Science : deep-sea limestones exposed in Italy, Denmark and New Zealand "show iridium increases of about 30, 160 and 120 times, respectively, above the background level at precisely the time of the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinctions, 65 million years ago". PRIMORDIAL DRAGON - Stonehenge Viewpoint no 35 We last reviewed this publication in WORKSHOP no.3 (Nov. 1978) p.13. At that time we considered that although Stonehenge Viewpoint and the works of Dr. Velikovsky shared a common domain of interest in respect of their enquiries into mythological matters ...
222. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ring shadow was projected southwards, thereby chilling waters in the southern hemisphere. Wind patterns and ocean currents were upset. Gradually, the ring was swept away by the solar wind. Evidence for the first ring derives from the findings of B.P . Glass, a marine geologist, who noticed tektites in association with four important species of extinct one-celled plankton in sediment cores from the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. O'Keefe also postulates the formation of a second ring only 700,000 years ago during the most recent of the Ice Ages. From a Velikovskian perspective, theories like these are of value for their illustration of the skills in Earth Sciences required to test for signs of ...
223. The Demise of the Mammoth: Conflicting Theories [Journals] [Aeon]
... joint Russian and Japanese expedition. It is not that Buigues and his colleague Ross MacPhee are aiming to clone a mammoth from any DNA they hope to recover. But MacPhee, curator of mammals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, is hoping to be able to test his theory concerning the demise of the mammoth. The extinction of this beast has long puzzled scientists. Originally, it was believed that the mammoth had succumbed to the drastic climatic change at the end of the Pleistocene. But by the late 1960s, this theory was abandoned in favor of the one proposed by the ecologist Paul Martin who pinned the blame for the demise of the mammoth on prehistoric ...
224. A Third Alternative [Journals] [Kronos]
... Upheaval. Velikovsky shows that newer species have indeed descended from older species, but in discrete and sudden leaps rather than in continuous and slow transitions. The mechanism for the formation of new species is the massive mutation that results from global catastrophes when Earth has been in near-collisions with other bodies. These near-collisions and cataclysmic circumstances caused both the simultaneous extinction of numerous older species and the simultaneous proliferation of numerous new species. Velikovsky's theory also explains why the "missing links" are absent from the geological record: such intermediate or transitional forms never did exist at all, for evolution has proceeded by discrete jumps from one species to another, rather than by continuous gradation through intermediate stages. ...

... unexpectedly came the entombment; and vast forests were burned and washed away and covered with the waters of the seas and with sand and turned to coal; and animals were swept to the far north and thrown into heaps and were soaked by bituminous outpourings; and broken bones and torn ligaments and the skins of animals of living species and of extinct were smashed together with splintered forests into huge piles; and whales were cast out of the oceans onto mountains; and rocks from disintegrating mountain ridges were carried over vast stretches of land, from Norway to the Carpathians, and into the Harz Mountains, and into Scotland, and from Mount Blanc to the Juras, and from Labrador to ...
226. Discussion Comments From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... the matter, however, is that for all Darwin's honesty in admitting this problem (among many others), the inconvenient facts of the paleontological-stratigraphic record were against his theory and they still are. In Earth in Upheaval, Velikovsky presented evidence of human remains- fossils and artifacts- lying mixed together in the same strata with animals theoretically long extinct but having the same state of bone mineralisation. The established geological and paleontological theories, following the principle of "superposition" (more recent levels will lie on top of more ancient levels), imply deposition of these remains in geologically separate strata; therefore, they could not anticipate that such remains would be found lying mixed together pell ...

... development of complex climatic variations and the development of polar ice-caps. The remnants of surviving flora and fauna, possibly already undergoing massive mutation due to radiation effects, would explosively adapt to a whole range of entire new conditions. Evidence: The geological boundary between the Cretaceous and the Tertiary periods marks a radical change in conditions on Earth. Massive extinctions of life took place, including entire major groups and an estimated 70% of species total. The boundary is marked physically by a world-wide thin layer of clay which chemical analysis has shown to be considerable enriched in several elements, notably iridium, over and above the levels normally found on Earth. The obvious explanation for the presence of ...

... stratum are present-day varieties, then the stratum is of Miocene time, an earlier subdivision of the Tertiary; and so on, down to the stratum where shells of extant species of molluscs find no direct ancestors. Lyell's time system is based on the assumption that no catastrophic events intervened and that the extirpation of species was the result of slow extinction, which Darwin's theory ascribes to the survival of the fittest in the struggle for the limited means of existence. But if great catastrophes occurred on the surface of the earth and in the depths of the seas, of more than local character, and if in such upheavals some forms of life perished and others survived, and the progeny ...

... ** ** * No soft local sandstone for the builders of the edifices of the Second Period of Tiahuanaco.2 Though they did not absolutely disdain using it occasionally, they set out to search for the hardest and toughest stone which occurs in the whole region. They eventually found it in the andesite which forms the slopes of the extinct volcano Kayappia. The andesite quarries were about 30 miles by water in a straight line from the quays of the new capital, but the builders thought little of distance and of transport difficulties. They broke huge3 blocks of this volcanic rock and took them, roughly squared, to the masons' yards near their building sites, where they ...
... places showed its red color." Thus if we were cut off from every other source of information as to the character of this animal's habitat, The Glacial Epochs. 183 this simple accidental circumstance of finding a part of a cotyledon of a plant in the hollow tooth affords evidence the most positive, and conclusive, that the race of extinct quadrupeds, represented by these frozen and mummied mammals, in the far north, not only was abruptly and suddenly overwhelmed by some mighty and immeasurable revolution of the forces of nature; but it also shows on what kind of food the animal fed, on the very day it was entombed, and that it was frozen up on the ...
