... not yet seem to have produced an explanation capable of obtaining unanimity between geologists or petrographers, among whom lively discussion still continues. Mr Gallant's book will be discussed by everyone concerned, not only the geologist and petrographer, but also the physicist, astronomer, palaeoclimatologist, perhaps the palaeontologist (about the mixtures of faunas and the problems of the extinction of species) and the archaeologist. It is right and salutary that wide discussions should take place on problems of such fundamental interest for the history (and for the future!) of the planet. The author by no means claims to have discovered one master-key solution; he knows very well that Nature's locks often admit several keys. ...
442. Science Frontiers [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... .M . Price. 1926, 352 pp., $18.95p. Price was an early catastrophist at a time when uniformitarianism ruled with an iron fist. He systematically and rationally presented some of geology's major anomalies- particularly in stratigraphy. Chapter titles include: The Modern Onion-Coat Theory; "Deceptive Conformity"; Upside Down; Extinct Species; Skipping; Graveyards; Degeneration; Fossil Men. Price was a creationist, but his book is devoid of theology. The Aerial World by G. Hartwig 1886, 560 pp., $26.95p. 37 chapters touch on just about every facet of weather and geophysics known: The echo; Waterspouts; The Rainbow ...
... flints used, and subjects of their engravings leading to this enormous prehistoric estimate. The Magdalenians, according to like estimates, showed even "superior Aurignacian culture", and were deemed to have reached France by some unknown route about 7,000 years after the Crô-Magnon man. Their caves are decorated with masterly representations of wild beasts, mostly extinct, and the mixture of colours became complex with polychromes. They designed on wood, bone, ivory and stone, dressed hides, and made clothing, footwear, and ornaments. Their wall-paintings show bold designs of spirited and lifelike representations of mammoths, aurochs, reindeer, wild horses, rhinoceri, and other beasts. Their human representations ...
444. Earth In Chaos by Peter M. James [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... gyroscopic motion of the Earth is more acceptable than hypotheses involving cosmic bodies that have since disappeared without trace. Peter James has packed a lot of material into a small book. The contents cover Ancient Solar Observatories, Earth Wobbles, Megalithic Intent and Architecture, Precession, Cause and Effect, Global Catastrophes, Prehistory - a basis for reconstruction, Extinctions and Climate Change. It is an excellent springboard for all SIS authors researching Catastrophe and Chronology. David A. Slade \cdrom\pubs\journals\workshop\w1995no1\36earth.htm ...
445. Replies to Lasken and Rees [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... Therefore, the attention to detail would be mainly upon the Theban nobles, and for this position they would require a Middle Kingdom address. Scholars have never shed any doubt with respect to the location of Nefrusi on the map; it has always been near Beni-Hassan, and as stated in my article, if you find Nefrusi then Minya becomes extinct. But even today, Minya is near Beni-Hassan and seems to be Nefrusi. The geography of Egypt has not changed since ancient times. Teti governed Nefrusi for the Hyksos. In order to maintain the 300 Apophis ships, Nefrusi, like Avaris, must have been on the water. A city called Avaris has been lost, and ...
446. Hans Schindler Bellamy info wanted [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... [. .] The Great Age of the the remains of Tiahuanaco is corroborated by evidence given directly and distinctly by the Calendar sculpture. For among the chronoglyphs we find at least the portrait of one animal which does not now occur anywhere near Tiahuanaco: the Flying Fish. And we find among them at least one animal which has been extinct since Tertiary times: the Toxodon. Selected book's Bibliography: H. Hoerbiger and Ph. Fauth, Glazialkosmogenie. 1913; E. Kiss. Das Sonnentor von Tihuanaku. 1937. According to his publisher, Bellamy died on 12 Dec 1982, and his last known place of residence was Vienna. [Note: HS Bellamy is the ...
447. Radio-Carbon Dating [Books]
... concentration of carbon dioxide would have decreased by 40 per cent. It may be objected that the above considerations refer only to remote `geological times', while radio-carbon dating is used for periods not exceeding the last 100,000 years. It is well known that the Pleistocene epoch has been characterized by intense volcanism. Several thousands of now extinct volcanoes were still in activity all over the world till well after the end of the lee Age. If 7,000 or 8,000 years ago, 500 volcanoes (cones or fissures),51 emitted lava at the rate of Mauna Loa (Hawaii) during its two days' eruption in 1950 (1 .9 X ...
448. In Passing [Journals] [SIS Review]
... solar energy to reach ground level, climatic zones would persist, but with temperate zones becoming arctic and with tropical zones becoming temperate." The present paper turns to the empirical evidence to see whether it matches the conditions implied by the theory, and is particularly concerned with the coincidence of pluvial activity with the onset of ice ages, the extinction of species, especially the curiously undecomposed condition of the Siberian mammoths, and the problem of "erratic" boulders. The authors' calculations show that "the heat reservoir of the oceans, approximately 9 x 1032erg, is sufficient to evaporate approximately 4 x 1022cm3 of water". This would lower the sea level by some 100m and ...
449. Meteoritic Impacts And Radioactivity [Books]
... . M. Bullard, Volcanoes, 1962, p. 39. 50. ibid., p. 41. 51. This is a modest figure, if one takes into account that at present450 volcanoes are known to be active or to have been active in historic times. Of this number, half are nowadays dormant, considered as extinct meaning that they show no present activity. 52. F. M. Bullard, op. cit., p. 41. 53. D. M. Shaw: private communication. 54. G. W. Johnson, G. H. Higgens, and C. E. Violet, `Underground Nuclear Detonations', ...

... Trevor Palmer spoke next, on the subject of "Nemesis for Evolution Gradualism?": a fuller account of his talk will appear in article form in future SIS publications. He gave a detailed summary of the various trends towards catastrophism in palaeontological thought over the past few years. Ever since Alvarez it had become almost respectable to view mass extinctions as caused by extra-terrestrial bodies. If the trend continued then the establishment might become more open to the idea of more recent catastrophes. Unfortunately, the lively and interesting discussions which started up had to be curtailed due to lack of time.
