A friend of mine has a brother who lives in Martha's Vineyard. He says that one of his metal detector friends has a pickup truck full of it and fishermen complain about it screwing up their nets.
No, but thanks for the heads up. I’ll see if I can find it.
BTW, thanks to PIF...Look up Carolina Bays....
Hey, that looks like one great movie!
Yeah, huge chunks from the Laurentide Glacier. A lot of good information at this blog: http://cosmictusk.com/
You haven’t seen that movie??? It is really good...
Don’t forget, the sea level was a few hundred feet below where it is today because there was so much ice on the land.
Maybe...in post #32 it looks like a traffic jam at the top.
That would be a nice thought but too much says a hit that size would leave a crater miles in diameter and a mile in depth. Not found in New England or off coast. there have been lots of other meteor strikes that would account for the debris found, many likely from many millions or billions of years ago when the continents were in different positions.
Shape of the Cape has nothing to do with a meteor strike - I remember reading something years ago that the shape has something to do with crustal movements and uplifting/subsidence.
Ice strike is what most geologist etc agree would neatly ‘disappear’ a crater of the necessary size to cause the Younger Dryas.
If your friends found meteoric iron debris, and not scrap from WWII, then they could have a real payday - even many stony meteors are worth a great deal. The net problems are likely from WWII wrecks and jettisoned cargo; there’s a lot of crap on the bottom of oceans that has nothing to do with astronomical events and more to do with human activity like garbage scows ocean dumping.
The 40 feet was a sarcasm as sea level averaged 300 feet lower ranging to 700 feet lower in places like India during the Great Ice Age.
If all the ice and snow every where on Earth, including the ice in your fridge, melted then we would have the 40 foot rise.
Just think how nice the Florida Keys must have been back then.
Just think how nice the Florida Keys must have been back then.
That or prevailing currents depositing sand over thousands of years.
The Florida Keys are made of marl, a close cousin of coral; they did not exist then. they need ocean water to form, dry then nothing happens; Cuba and the various islands are a different story.
No crater because of the mile high glacier but plenty of crescent shaped sand piled up on the back side of the melted ice from the impact.
Anytime you are in New England, comet samples will be there for you.
It's on you.
Whatever happened in 11,000 B.C. formed the Great Lakes and annihilated the Clovis culture in North America, along with 100% of the large animals.
It was very real.
The extinctions in Europe were not so instantaneous. Took about 500 years. Mammoths, Saber-tooth Tigers etc. Gone.
Nature’s climate pendulum is constantly swinging between warm and cold spells (glacial and inter-glacial periods.) For some unexplained reason, about 100,000 to 125,000 years ago the earth’s temperature began cooling form one of its very warm periods and the two polar ice caps began to grow. This warm period is an interglacial period and this particular is know as the Sangamon period. The increased ice in the polar caps very slowly removed fresh water from the oceans. As a result, the ocean level dropped, the living reefs began to die, and, with time, became completely exposed - Voilia, the Keys appeared. As the sea waters fell, the shoreline moved outward and more land mass was exposed.
The ocean level is thought to have fallen as much as 300 to 450 feet at its lowest levels. The high seawater level occurred about 125,000 years ago, the low was about 20,000 years ago and the outer reefs went under water about 6,000 years ago. This shown in the drawing at the right: The blue is Florida 125,000 before present (BP), the pink Florida 26,000 BP and the gray is today. What today we call the Keys were the very high points of a very wide penisular.

They seem to have had a lot of dodo birds and giant scorpions, as well as Volkswagen Beetle doors to use for decoration.
My theory is that inbreeding is bad now due to sin in the form of corrupted genetics, disease, etc. Also why people lived so long back then - the sin hadn’t started to pile up. (Or at least the effects of sin).
A couple of decades ago I might have agreed with you. But clearly many of the prestigious journals are now very selective in the manuscripts they accept. Plus - statistics makes the world go round. Everything you see on your computer, all the ads, the pop-ups - they're all based on statistics.
You are in a very small minority that hold a belief based on no actual evidence - the scatter pattern of a comet strike during that period centers in Canada not NE.
Been in NE for years a long time back. Samples are not from that time nor all of them comet debris.
Its not a question of belief but of actual documented evidence for which there is none for NE, but almost overwhelming for mid-Canada Ice Cap strike.
