... the apparent isolation of fauna between South America and Australia appeared to indicate that there was an environmental barrier of unknown character, although the climate of Antarctica is thought to have been suitable for life on land at that period. This has recently been confirmed by the find of a 40-Myr-old polydolopid marsupial fossil on the northern Antarctic Peninsula. The now extinct polydolopids were thought to have evolved in and been endemic to South America. The find is therefore taken to indicate that migration took place between South America and Antarctica, supporting the idea that Australian marsupials originated from earlier South American forms. However, no evidence of placental mammals has yet been found in Antarctica or Australia although they were in ...
452. Old Testament Tales [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... about 300,000 Leonid meteoroids per hour were seen from the Pacific coasts in November 1966: the sky was ablaze with shooting stars', burning up in the atmosphere before reaching Earth's surface: but the Gemenids, orbital period only 1.65 years, comprise unusually dense particles which reach the surface; their comet of origin is probably extinct, and might even be David's. It touched Ornan's threshing floor in some way that marked the spot as sacred', and became the site of Solomon's temple (2 Chr. 3:1 ). Aerolite falls mark the sites of e.g . the temple of Diana at Ephesus and the Kaaba at Mecca; so perhaps ...
453. Saturn's Flare-ups [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... but, unless I have misread the texts, the records indicate at least three disruptions and not just two.(16) I mention this here because if ancient man remembers three Saturnian catastrophes, there is a possibility that further Saturnian disasters had occurred prior to the advent of humankind itself. And therein might lie the answer to the great extinctions of life at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary and the annihilation of the dinosaurs with which the pages of Workshop have rightly been concerned these many past issues. It is heartening to see that Eggleton has discarded the notion that the planet Jupiter was ejected from Saturn, a supposition that was accepted by Tresman and O'Gheoghan,(17) and one that ...

... mammals in the Saturnian configuration, Dwardu Cardona said the mammals adapted to their environment over a few thousand years. Q5. In response to a question as to how ancient art from before the Saturn configuration is different from that afterwards, Ev Cochrane said that in Palaeolithic rock art, there is an abundance of naturalistic paintings of animals, some extinct, but virtually zero of planets or stars. Later in the Neolithic era we get sun images galore. He believed they drew the sun as accurately as they did the bison, so the events we are looking for happened between the Palaeolithic and the Neolithic period. Q6. Dwardu Cardona was asked how the shish kebab' came into ...

... to his chosen ground of punctuated equilibria. A professor Smith of Sussex University squirmed in trying to explain away the use Nazi racists had made of Darwin's "survival of the fittest" concept, with all its implications. Apart from an all-too-brief shot of Britain's Professor Monte Walsh wading into the creationist case with a demonstration of how the dinosaurs became extinct when they were manifestly fitted to survive, the scientific issues involved were entirely ignored. The whole show reeked of pabulum to appease the creationists without having to obtrude on Horizon's sacred science time. - Martin Sieff \cdrom\pubs\journals\workshop\vol0403\32revie.htm ...

Urey, his mentor, was also responsible for using other Velikovskian-type scenarios to a good effect, e.g . the hypothesis that a comet caused widespread extinction at the end of the Eocene Epoch (NATURE 242, p. 32-3). 9.

... water. On a rocky soil sometimes it splits the rock or forces it down, or piles up on top. Coon Butte, in Arizona, is an outstanding instance of a considerable meteor, though it is incorrect to assert as some do that it is the biggest meteor that ever fell from the skies. The meteor formed a now extinct volcano with a cavity in the crater measuring over a mile across. All around the eminence the ground is covered with fragments of meteoric iron, embedded in which have been found many microscopic diamonds. A syndicate was formed a few years ago to mine the interior of the mountain. Shortly after beginning operations an enormous mass of meteoric iron ...
... surveyed the surrounding country, and secured a number of extremely valuable objects for the museums. Yet infinitely more remains to be done. For the hitherto hardly explored lower strata of wide regions yield pottery, implements, sculptures, and tooled stones, as well as considerable and interesting layers of the scattered broken bones of men and of (since extinct) animals. NOTES 1. All the gates, or fragments of gates, found on the site of Tiahuanaco are lying face down', i.e . the side exposed to view shows the same architectural' ornaments-niches, cornices, etc. -as the back of the Calendar Gate. No one seems to have been interested ...

It will feature Distant Learning Programs, books, videos, audio tapes and television documentaries. More details on page 4. Cambridge Conference List Mass extinctions, small comets and old astronomical megaliths are just a few of the subjects discussed by the CCNet. Catastrophism is not only mainstream, but has hit the silver screen (no pun intended) with the release of "Deep Impact".
