... . It was agreed that Miller's Orcadian catastrophe would not stand up to scrutiny. If we take only Miller's Cromarty Fish Beds and their lateral equivalents it can be seen that they consist of deep water, nonglacial varves (the laminites of Donovan e.a . , 1974) . By counting these varve pairs it can be seen that the extinctions in this horizon alone cover a period of the order of several thousand years. We are therefore seeing thousands of catastrophic events and not a single one. Romer (1966) believed that these catastrophes were due to periodic drought. This cannot be true since almost all the fish remains are found in the deep water laminite unit of a ...

... . They may serve to stimulate thought and research - and the correspondence for the Comments' column of this journal. It is commonly stated that at an interface some 2 900km from the surface of the Earth the phase changes from solid to liquid and the composition from SIMA to NIFE (other hypotheses have been proposed), because of the extinction of S waves at this level. But at 5,150km from the surface there is another discontinuity, which marks the boundary of the solid inner core, with an increase in density from some 10.0 to 12.3 or 13.3 . The inner core, being solid, is supposed to transmit S waves. ...

... is 1/225 - 1/364 - 1/509+ 29/48,239,100 = 0 Eq.(4 ) This study has not extended its analyses to all periods of uniformitarian or catastrophic events, but McCanney[13] cites a Nature article that lists the following ages of worldwide catastrophic events corresponding to mass extinctions, the ages being given in periods of millions of years; namely 1, 13, 25, 35, 58, 63, 135, 181, 230, 280, 345, and 405. McCanney's interpretation is that such events are governed strictly by chance and a random distribution is suggested. Here, however, the conclusion is ...

... myths about "The Golden Age". This was an era of peace and plenty when the great planetary gods Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and Venus ruled the heavens. Then it ended. The gods turned their wrath on a helpless humanity, causing geological upheaval, global destruction and chaos, the catastrophic collapse of great civilizations, the mass extinctions of species, the greatfloods and the ice ages.

... value our long-term survival as a species. The message carried by the discovery of the threat of comet or asteroid impact means is that we can no longer assume that civilization will go on forever. But once we become aware of this, what do we do next? Now that we appreciate that we are perpetually poised on the edge of extinction, what is our species going to do with this knowledge? And what does this awareness imply regarding our place in space? 14:00 Dr Marie-Agnès Courty, French Centre for Scientific Research Causes and Effects of the 2350 BC Middle East Anomaly Evidenced by Micro-debris Fallout, Surface Combustion and Soil Explosion Further investigations allow us to re-examine the ...

... 000 years and either could end civilization. During discussions the debate focussed on whether Bronze Age civilizations collapsed simultaneously, and if so on a regional or world-wide basis; and whether purely terrestrial or extraterrestrial processes were involved. Is the ultimate cause of the collapse of a civilization simple (as for the single impact hypothesis for the K/T extinction) or complex, involving diverse factors? For example, the combination of climate change, mass migration, war and economic collapse would undoubtedly be worse than one of those factors acting alone. As in the analogous mass-extinction of life debate, the SIS meeting demonstrated that such questions are in principle resolvable by detailed stratigraphical analyses and investigations in ...
379. An Extraterrestrial Hypothesis [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Academy of Science, Siberian Division, Joint Institute of Geological Geophysics & Mineralogy, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia. About 10,000 years ago, at the Pleistocene-Holocene border, some important events occurred: the glaciation stopped abruptly; the sea level elevated, and quick (for 20-50 years) climatic and ecological changes took place, leading to the extinction of "mammoth fauna" and exerting a direct effect on mankind's evolution and appearance of civilizations. It is shown in the paper that the disaster under study was caused by the collision of the Earth with an eruptive comet, brought various volcanic tektite glasses from a remote planetary body. This extra-terrestrial source of tektites is proven by the well-known ...
380. German Conference: from Gunnar Heinsohn [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... The former reaches his fleet- supposedly moving on the Euphrates- at Bit Chaluppe whereas Xerxes does the same at Chalkis. I myself spoke on the Greek Dark Age, especially on the city of Ismaros of the Kikonians where Ulysses committed the first reported genocide of occidental civilization (Odyssey IX: 39 ff.). The Kikonians are considered extinct around -1150 but they are well alive after the supposed dark age in Herodotus' -5th c. as well as in Strabo's -1st c. Even Ismaros recovered splendidly. Orpheus the Thracian is also called a Kikonian by Greeks and Romans (Vergil, Ovid) alike. To mainstream all these references to Ismaros and the Kikonians are mere boastings ...
