Supernova Storm Wiped Out Mammoths?

What really piques my interest is the frozen mastadons found in Siberia that have fresh flowers in their teeth, and unprocessed vegetation in their gastric system. It's like they just up and died, and froze, in minutes.

Firestone said they think the formation created superheated hurricanal winds in the atmosphere that rolled across North America at 400 kilometers per hour (about 249 mph).

Which could explain the flash frozen scenario.

Aren’t we overdue for an ice age?

Seems to me if you're going to claim "supernova killed the mammoths", pitted craters in mammoth tusks is not primary evidence to validate your claim..

Seems also that those particles would have not only slowed down and burned up some on entry into the earth's atmosphere, but would have riddled EVERTHING. Something traveling with enough force to leave *craters* in a tusk would likely have gone through bodies like bullets; everything, everywhere.

Reruns are great when you haven’t seen the original.
