The authors say they've shown that the spherules are identical to rock found in southern Quebec. "What is exciting in our paper is that we have for the first time narrowed down the region where a Younger Dryas impact did take place," says Sharma, "even though we have not yet found its crater" (http://tinyurl.com/mnmxboz).
But their case isn't air tight. "The tiny spherules from New Jersey and Pennsylvania, analyzed by Sharma and his colleagues, have never been accurately dated, Sharma admits. They could be several thousands years older than the widespread glacial event" (Yahoo article).

Iroquois Legend:
“About this time the northern nations formed a confederacy
[centuries before the formation of the Iroquois Confederacy]
and seated a great council fire on the river St. Lawrence;
the northern nations possessed the bank of the great lakes;
the countries of the north were plenty of beavers,
but the hunters were often opposed by big snakes.
The people live on the south side of the Big Lakes make
bread of roots and obtain a kind of potatoes and beans found on the rich soil.
...A BLAZING STAR [my caps] fell into a fort situated on the St. Lawrence and destroyed the people;
this event was considered as a warning of their destruction. After a time a war broke out among the northern nations which continued
until they had utterly destroyed each other, the island again became in possession of fierce animals.
-Bonaparte, Darren, “Creation and Confederation”

Actually it was a comet with multiple boulders that strafed that portion of North America.A crater like the one in Arizona dose not exist because it was air burst over mile thick Laurentide ice sheet. It was kind of like the one that exploded over Russia last Winter but it had over a mile of ice under it.
The crater in Arizona was made by a single iron meteor and it ablated its way to earth in a different way.

Darren Bonaparte gets his information fron the “talkers”
[memorized oral tradition] on the Canadian side of the Mohawk reservation. You can see his books on google books
“Creation and Confederation: The Living History of the Iroquois”
books.google.com/books?isbn=0973932201
He is trying to get them to tell him more.

Thanks for the legend. As I was putting the post together, I thought 12,900 years ago isn’t a long time; there ought to be myths or legends that describe this impact, if it happened.
But the description in this legend doesn’t seem specific enough to identify it with a massive impact near Quebec that splashed debris as far as Jersey. It could have been any impact or Chelyabinsk-type event 10000-1 BC big enough to destroy a fort.
Do you know of legends from other tribes that could refer to a massive impact?

The tiny particles from New Jersey and Pennsylvania, analyzed by Sharma and his colleagues, have never been accurately dated, Sharma admits. They could be several thousands years older than the widespread glacial event. "We are assuming they are Younger Dryas So they haven't dated the sphericals, they are only assuming they are from the Younger Dryas,

**though no crater of the right age has ever been found.**
Perhaps because the crater was in the ice pack that flowed away?

though no crater of the right age has ever been found. If I am not mistaken, Lac St-Jean -- about 125 miles north of Quebec City -- is thought to be a massive impact crater -- about 35 miles in diameter.

thanks for the link. Looks like Lac St-Jean is not among them...
