Is the P-T event associated with an irridium layer?

I had wondered if the super-continent break-up might have been related to a monsterous impact.

The Chicxulub meteor is thought to have been 6 miles wide, while the Wilkes Land meteor could have been up to 30 miles wide -- four or five times wider.

30 miles wide. Kinda explains why 95% of life died out.

I'm sure women and minority dinosaurs were hardest hit.

Planetary scientists have found evidence of a meteor impact much larger and earlier than the one that killed the dinosaurs -- an impact that they believe caused the biggest mass extinction in Earth's history.

And it was caused by Karl Rove!

Everybody be nice.

First you people want everyone to bow at the feet of Darwin, now you want us to believe that Gaia evolves? Ha! [/creationoid mode]

Yep!
It probably was brought about by all of the SUVs roaming around causing GLOBAL WARMING, eventually attracting the comet to that region......

Since the cost of drilling through more than a mile of ice to reach these rocks directly is prohibitive...


um... they might want to try a few phosphorous grenades instead of drilling.

I must brag a little bit. If you Google for this story, you may find one hit. By tomorrow there will be dozens. As with several other significant science stories, you read it first on Free Republic.

I've been saying this for years, but nobody ever listens to me.
