Hi:
I’ve been somewhat following this theory here on FR for the last few years and find it compelling. Anyways I think someone in some previous FR thread listed a website called The Cosmic Tusk. The url is
This website posts articles/reports/studies and such that are supportive of the cometary impact hypothesis. The miller-mccune article that is posted here was also posted on that website. Here is the url

It also has some comments at the end of it some of which are scathing criticisms of this article. You kind of have to wade through the comments a bit though.
Another interesting website that is linked to at the CosmicTusk is the following
http://craterhunter.wordpress.com
It has an article that I found to be really interesting called
“A Different Kind of Climate catastrophe”
Which can be found here
http://craterhunter.wordpress.com/a-different-kind-of-climate-catastrophe/
It presents an idea of how the cometary impact could have happened. The gist is that the comet broke up into a meteor stream and that the earth collided with it. The iceballs after they entered were converted to high temperature plasmas which scorched the ground like a blowtorch wiping out the North American Megafauna. This would explain the lack of an impact crater for the event. A very interesting read that I hope members will take a look at.
Anyways, I haven’t given up on the cometary impact hypothesis as the cause of the climate change of the Younger Dryas and the extinction of the megafauna.
As for myself i’m just a layman who has developed an interest in this type of stuff from the postings here on FR. To which I want to thank members who post this kind of stuff.
Thanks, will check it out tomorrow.
