... well-researched; accordingly, the book can be strongly recommended, although the short section on evolution from space is unsupported speculation resting on the shakiest of foundations. Briefly Noted AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL EVENT AT THE CRETACEOUS/TERTIARY BOUNDARY by J. Smit and J. Hertogen (Nature 285, 1980, pp. 198-200). Research reveals that "the extinction of planktonic Foraminifera and nanofossils was abrupt without any previous warning in the sedimentary record" and that the enrichment of anomalous trace elements indicates an extraterrestrial source "such as the impact of a large meteorite". TERRESTRIAL CATASTROPHE CAUSED BY COMETARY IMPACT AT THE END OF CRETACEOUS by K. J. Hsü (Nature 285, 1980, pp ...
332. Paleo-Calcinology: Destruction by Fire in Pre-historic and Ancient Times Part I [Journals] [Kronos]
... and succumbed to exhaustion in the hot ash-laden and gas-polluted air, the fall of ashes was not great enough to bury houses. The fall-out colors are not well-described; at least white, grey, black, brown, green, and red material was mentioned. Examining the territory around Troy (modern Hisarlik), we find no active or extinct volcanoes.(20) Mount Ida, famous in Homer, is 30 miles to the Southwest of Hisarlik. It is not reported as an active or extinct volcano. At 30 miles of distance, in order to have caused an ash-rain that would bury Troy, it would have had to explode in successive bursts of fury, exceeding ...

... on 24/10/99 on Radio National, Australian Broadcasting Corporation]. In this talk the authors proposes that the concept of a god arose out of witnessing major catastrophes, and tries to explain the growth and character of some religions. Peter James: In a previous talk on this program, I spoke on the subject of mass extinctions in the geological record. [. .. ] Firstly, we need to establish a basis for cataclysms, and I would approach this from the flanks, starting with the various folk tales about what might be termed instability in the heavens'. Biblical references to the sun standing still or even reversing, are examples of instability in ...

... within the Arctic Circle, on the same latitude as northern Greenland and are at present wastes of permafrost, with the only vegetation ground-hugging and dormant during the four months of winter darkness. Thick layers of sands, silts and coals, said to be from the early part of the Tertiary Period (i .e ., immediately following the extinction of the dinosaurs) have long been known from here and finds of fossil wood and stumps are not uncommon. The commonest types of trees which have fossilised associated with the coal seams are the dawn redwood and the swamp cypress (now only found in China), and these are taken to indicate that lowland swamps were common in the ...
335. Snowball Mini-comets [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... spots were not just noise or errors in transmission (since the spots were often no more than a pixel wide) it was found that the spots were real, that they grew and faded quickly and moved in a prograde fashion like meteoric dust. So the cause appeared to be extraterrestrial. The next question was what could cause the rapid extinction and recovery of the dayglow over a circle about 30 miles (48km) in diameter? The holes are too big to be caused by a solid object, so Frank decided it must be a cloud of water vapour. This led to the notion that comets must be the cause as they are believed to be composed largely of water ...

... the other half-month in hot sunshine. There is no water on the planet, no vegetation, and probably no life at all. The ancients were interested to know whether the moon had human settlements, but moderns are concer ned with the problem of the origin of the lunar craters. There are two theories: one sees in them great extinct volcanoes; the other, formations produced by the bombardment of great meteorites on the semi-liquid mass of the moon before it solidified. There are more than thirty thousand such craters, small and large. Some of these circular crests rise as high as 20,000 feet above the plain- their height is measured by the length of their ...
