Source notes

Identifies large slabs of melt glass fused with cometary materials at 12,600, a few hundred years after the YD onset. Mark Boslough has heartily endorsed this paper as not a single YDIH paper is cited. Additional impacts following the initial one at the YDB are entirely expected within Coherent Catastrophism.
