A link was provided to this paper in a news article discussion earlier this week. Here is the full abstract FYI.

[MediaMole]

This happened 12,900 years ago and it’s breaking news?

[Lurker]

Catastrophism.

[doug from upland]

Is there a babelfish translation of this?

[magellan]

Bush’s fault.

[RightOnTheLeftCoast]

Bush’s fault.

[Gay State Conservative]

Could someone translate this for those of us who aren’t MIT grads?

[NormsRevenge]

Stuff happens.

Saw a good program on History channel very recently about MegaDisassers, including impacts by comets and such and the residue left behind and other physical evidence of some pretty good hits..

[Running On Empty]

They’re coming to take me away.

[Alex Murphy]

Evidence for an extraterrestrial impact 12,900 years ago

Neanderthal women and children hardest hit.

[RightWhale]

• fullerenes with ET helium

  It is He3, the same He3 some think they can mine profitably from the moon. Why bother with the moon when it's right here in the Carolina Bays?

BTW, from this OLD THREAD:

"After the year that has elapsed since the article was published, however, the authors no longer agree about the events theorized in their article. Firestone's reply is printed below. Topping declined to respond, pending new experimental data."

William Topping has responded, but not soon enough apparently to make the Mammoth Trumpet's cutoff, and if fact was never posted there. Found it HERE(much of his counter-rebuttal to Southon/Taylor's rebuttal has been included in the article this thread is based on).

I didn't read it closely enough to see where Firestone and Topping may have parted ways(if in fact they did); a little technical for an old salesman ;^)
