Younger Dryas Event in California

One of the most intense debates in the paleosciences in recent years has focused on the question of whether or not a cosmic impact (comet) approximately 12,900 years ago caused both the Younger Dryas climatic oscillation and the disappearance of Pleistocene megaauna in North America.

Cosmic Soil in Human History I: Germanic hoard storms 2011 Lunar and Planetary Conference
