Nishiizumi, 2010, Two extraterrestrial dust horizons found in the Dome Fuji ice core, East Antarctica. Earth and Planetary Science Letters. vol. 289, no. 1-2, pp. 287-297. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2009.11.016 In part the abstract reads, "Two silicate-rich dust layers were found in the Dome Fuji ice core in East Antarctica, at Marine Isotope Stages 12 and 13. Morphologies, textures, and chemical compositions of constituent particles reveal that they are high-temperature melting products and are of extraterrestrial origin. Because similar layers were found approximately 2000 km east of Dome Fuji, at EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica)-Dome C, particles must have rained down over a wide area 434 and 481 ka." Mention is also made of these dust horizons in: Narcisi, B., J. Robert Petit, and B.
