Here is a brief but interesting echange on this subject.
The Chixculub meteor came in at about a 35 degree angle and has a distorted crater.

Ummm, I thought Winston Churchill’s Dad’s “health problems” had more than a little to do with tertiary syphillis.
He had other problems long before syphilis if, in fact, that’s what it was.
So many theories, so little proof. So this is why the flash-frozen mammoths have fresh grass in their stomachs?
Ping.
I have been watching a 5 part series called ~North American Comet Catastrophe 10,900 BC over on youtube this morning. Firestone and West are on the panel, really interesting viewing.

BTTT for the obscure Lucifers Hammer reference
Anybody who hasn't read "Lucifer's Hammer" is hopelessly out of touch, anyway. ;)
I just completed reading the book below on this subject (at SunkenCiv's urging), it was a very good read and I recommend it.
The Cycle of Cosmic Catastrophes: How a Stone-Age Comet Changed the Course of World Culture
I still plan to track down a book about supernovae explosions as the cause of mass extinctions, it came out sometime in the past ten years (I think). This isn’t the LaViolette stuff either (PL’s claim was something called a galactic core explosion I think).
cosmic ray bombardment:

“I would guess no because of the heat.”
Now that I have read “The Cycle of Cosmic Catstrophes”, I think they agree with my posted guess. Very large chunks of ice blown out of the glaciers by very large boloid.
