Please put this into plain English. If it weren’t for 5 years of Anthropology, Archaeology and 3 years of geology, I wouldn’t have a clue as to what this article was about.

In plain English, a big-assed meteor/comet/asteroid hit the earth and its’ impact ring covered a wide geographic area, leaving behind identical impact fragments/evidence that could be dated.

I’m starting to love that blog. It’s going on my favorites list.

I don’t understand why the debris layer should be 10 cm thick. That isn’t all debris from the space object, is it? I’m thinking that it would take a huge amount of debris to cover the earth with 10 cm of dust, and that much additional mass would certainly have caused the rotation of the earth to slow.

This layer contains a diverse, abundant assemblage of impact-related markers, including nanodiamonds, carbon spherules, and magnetic spherules with rapid melting/quenching textures, all reaching synchronous peaks immediately beneath a layer containing the largest peak of charcoal in the core.

Also consistent with effects of the Z-pinch aurora in which there would have been massive arcing to ground in the Northern Hemisphere as well as a level of incoming radiation that would have been sufficient to kill off large mammals unable to take shelter in caverns.

As I wrote to Anthony Peratt in 2010: Recently I read that some believe the North American megafauna were doomed by an asteroid or comet near impact in Canada around the end of the last ice age ~12,000BCE, near impact because no impact crater could be found. They did find, however, evidence of widespread burning and nano-diamonds they cite as evidence of the extraterrestrial origin. I've read that high energy electric discharge can create nano-diamonds. Is it not possible that what they observed was the result of heavy arcing to the earth from the northern auroral zone? Have there been any attempts to survey the general latitude around the world for similar evidence?

He indicated that their experimental evidence showed that nano-diamonds could, indeed, be formed by such heavy arcing and that in summer they would be examining the nano-diamonds in situ. But I haven't heard anything recently.
