It?s hard to stay objective in the YD impact debates, nearly impossible if you are one of the participants. And yet George has done a very good job of presenting current research from both sides of the aisle. But now he?s come down off the objective fence, and jumped into the fray with both feet. George, along with David Kimmel, Alan West, and James P. Kennett are headed to a meeting of American Quaternary Association, at the University of Wyoming, in Laramie, Wyoming, August 12-15, 2010. And they are going there to tell the world about a New Method to Produce Nanodiamonds from Research into the Younger Dryas Impact event. Heck, that?s only one of the posters from the event There?ll be many others. New paradigms are wondrous things. Shift happens. comments this weekend by Rich Murray and Dennis Cox on Guest Blog at cosmictusk.com -- evidence in Santa Fe for vertical ablation from ice comet fragment air bursts: Rich Murray 2010.07.18 http://cosmictusk.com/guest-blog-a-catastrophist-manifesto-from-johan-bert-kloosterman/comment-page-1#comment-1382 Dennis Cox July 17th, 2010 at 10:29 pm It should be noted that at locations where you find the 'black mat', the sedimentary material covering it usually doesn't represent a significant amount of erosion, or mass movement. That means that many, if not most, of the surfaces which could be considered as co-affected materials of the same atmospheric conditions that the Nano-diamonds formed in, whether just burned or kicked around a bit, are still in perfectly pristine condition. It also means that a single chronological horizon can be established for almost all of western North America. And that chronology bears no resemblance to the mutual inter-assumptive confabulations of uniformitarian theory. I'm not sure the world is ready for just how far reaching the upcoming paradigm shift is going to be. But we're in it. There's no turning back. And the realization that the world isn't flat, is pretty ho hum by comparison. Between Firestone and friends and Bill Napier, Chuck Lyell must be rolling in his grave. The part that I don't hear sinking yet in is that with Bill Napier's latest paper specifically proposing in refereed literature that the Taurid Progenitor was the Younger Dryas comet, he changed the game completely. Because he didn't just give us a convincing astronomical model of the event. We also have a pretty good picture of the physical properties of the thing that did the disastrous deed. And if you can describe a beast, you can predict its footprints. With Bill Napier joining the fray, YD impact hypothesis has become a fully fledged theory that can successfully predict the planetary scarring. And it isn't craters. What say we take a great big comet, say 50 to 100 km wide, out of the Oort Cloud, or the Kuiper belt, and inject it into the inner solar system. And we park it an elliptical, Earth crossing orbit, and break it up into not so little pieces. Let it make a couple of orbits, so that tidal forces can break it up completely, and stretch it out into a very long stream of particles and fragments. Our average fragment size is about the size of the Tunguska object. But they range all the way from more than a half mile wide down to clouds or dust. We'll bring it in from the south at a low angle -- about 30 km/sec. The first fragments to hit will produce temps well over 100,000 degrees C. And they are just cheerleaders, twirling batons in front of a parade. The rest fall into already superheated impact plasma and just crank up the heat and pressure. In this way, almost 100% of the kinetic energy gets translated to heat and pressure. And that heat and pressure hit's the ground as an almost continuous supersonic stream of completely ionized, thermal impact plasma, hotter than the surface sun. In just a few minutes, I bet we could sterilize the lush African Savanna and make it look just like central Mexico and the American Southwest.

Common are rounded, often broken, quartz rocks from 2 to 25 cm size with softened and melted surface layers, often with a light yellow color - I imagine quartz rocks suddenly heated and cooled, like glass, will store internal stresses from thermal contraction that cause them to easily and even explosively fragment - a hazard well known to glassblowers.

The top to the N is 2.259 km el, 21 m above the pond's 2.238 km elevation. The steep rise to the NW of the pond has a good walking path along a 1 m high aluminum wall, giving easy access to many kinds of blasted, broken and glazed rocks in this public park. http://craterhunter.wordpress.com/the-planetary-scaring-of-the-younger-dryas-impact-event/california-melt/ [ many fine color photos on this article -- this plain text copy has been mildly edited, nothing taken out, to fix minor typos and add spacing to increase readability ]... more http://cosmictusk.com/guest-blog-a-catastrophist-manifesto-from-johan-bert-kloosterman/comment-page-1#comment-1376 Rich Murray July 19th, 2010 at 11:19 pm Full screen view of Rogelio D Acevedo at top rim edge of large crater, Bajada del Diablo, Argentina: National Geographic Blogwild, Ami Bucci 2009.09.11: Rich Murray 2010.03.28 [ you may have to copy and paste these URLs into your browser, or just highlight and then click on the URLs, as this is a plain text document ] http://blogs.nationalgeographic.com/blogs/blogwild/2009/09/mega-meteorite-mystery.html 3 images -- within the blog article, right click each photo to Save, or select, Open in a new window, to access larger views, which can also be right clicked to Save two men, dark green and dark red pants, by far edge of flat center of crater, with broken dark rocks, up to 2 m size, with higher crater rim of lighter rocks 608 x 456 -- 139k -- jpg full screen view of Rogelio Acevedo [ dark green pants ] at top rim edge of large crater, with dark flat center behind and below him, then the less high opposite crater rim of lighter color rock, curving around behind him on the right side of the view, with view across plain to far mountains [ south ? ] -- at his feet the rocks are about .3 to 2 m size and "volcanic", blue-black mixed with red very large full screen view of man with red pants with metal detector at edge of flat crater center of dark gravel-like pebbles, this side of the crater rim with a variety of sizes and types of "volcanic" dark, red, grey, and white rocks, mixed jagged and rounded September 11, 2009 4:22 PM Megameteorite Mystery Posted by Amy Bucci -- Blogwild Contributor National Geographic staffer Fabio Amador shared some news about one of our National Geographic Society/Waitt grantees, Rogelio Acevedo, a geologist from the Centro Austral de Investiggaciones Cientificas in Argentina. [ in green pants ]. In a remote region of Patagonia, enormous craters measuring up to 500 meters wide and 50 meters in depth could be evidence to a bombardment of meteorites. This meteoroid impact field, the largest in the southern hemisphere, is of extreme interest for Dr. Acevedo. This site, call Bajada del Diablo or Devil's Descent, contains more than one hundred impact craters spread over 400 square kilometers. Curiously, no meteorites have ever been found, but Acevedo and his team will be traveling there this October in hopes to solve the mystery by studying petrographic and mineralogic marks on the rocks. ground views of over 100 .1-.5 km shallow (ice comet fragment bursts) craters, Bajada del Diablo, Argentina (.78-.13 Ma BP) [42.87 S 67.47 W] Rogelio D Acevedo et al, Geomorphology 2009 Sept: Rich Murray 2010.03.28 http://rmforall.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.htm Saturday, March 27, 2010 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/astrodeep/message/47 D Cox -- 3 kinds of ignimbrites 'fire-cloud-rocks', re 13 Ka BP Taurid comet fragment swarm in NA (WP Napier 2009): Rich Murray 2010.07.04 http://rmforall.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.htm Sunday, July 4, 2010 [ at end of each long page, click on Older Posts ] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/astrodeep/message/54 Dennis Cox blog, plain text, with images of samples of magnetic black glaze on melt rocks from 13 Ka ice comet fragment extreme plasma storm geoablation in Fresno, California: Rich Murray 2010.07.02 http://rmforall.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.htm Friday, July 2, 2010 [ at end of each long page, click on Older Posts ] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/astrodeep/message/53 _______________________________________________ Rich Murray, MA Boston University Graduate School 1967 psychology, BS MIT 1964, history and physics, 1943 Otowi Road, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505 505-501-2298 rmforall at comcast.net http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AstroDeep/messages http://RMForAll.blogspot.com new primary archive [ at end of each long page, click on Older Posts ] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aspartameNM/messages group with 146 members, 1,608 posts in a public archive http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rmforall/messages participant, Santa Fe Complex www.sfcomplex.org _______________________________________________ Received on Wed 21 Jul 2010 12:04:05 PM PDT |
