Below is an excerpt from the Field Notes of the Andronikov expedition to inspect the black mat in Europe. At a site just west of Lommel, Holland they find an intriguing feature (above) that some interpret as possibly being a signature of an ancient tsunami at the onset of [...]
Your correspondent was doing some navel gazing last night and checked the academic “cites” for the soon to be even more famous 2007 paper, “Evidence for an extraterrestrial impact 12,900 years ago that contributed to the megafaunal extinctions and the Younger Dryas cooling.” I’ll be darned if I did not come across a just-added [...] Fired glaciofluvial sediment in the northwestern Andes: Biotic aspects of the Black Mat See additional papers further in this post….

Mystery photo of Black Mat in Holland Han Kloosterman, a wonderful gentleman catastrophist in the Netherlands, has shared an all too typical story with the Tusk revealing the enormous challenge of investigating the Younger Dryas Boundary hypothesis. Han has long advertised the special nature of the “Usselo Boundary,” a Younger Dryas strata found in [...]
The markers were located at a well-known Mexican Ice-Age site This is particularly interesting in light of Vance Haynes’ entirely separate publication last week. I cant find much on these folks, or at least Mellissa Scruggs. Perhaps they are young. If so, hats off to them. Their research confirmed the recent [...] C.

Nope. W.C. Mahaney et. al. Geomorphology — March 2010. In a total surprise to me [...] Tom Stafford was an expert among experts at the Fall Meeting. I became aware of Tom Stafford when Redefining the Age of Clovis: Implications for the Peopling of America was published in Science in 2007. He is the Former Director of the Laboratory of AMS Radicarbon Research at University of Colorado. And for more than decade he has been President of Stafford Research Laboratories — the nation’s top private dating laboratory. He is to be taken seriously when, among other things, he tells you how old something is. I was looking forward to his presentation more than any other at the Fall Meeting. I was not disappointed. Tom — who has never previously published with the YD team — laid out a very, very, tight and narrow layer of evidence supporting the purported event. In short, 151 centimeters below the surface at the pefectly stratified Hall’s Cave Paleo site in Texas was a 1 to 2 cm layer of dirt that was host to trillions of nanodiamonds and high levels of soot known as aciniform. Not above — not below.
