New Russian Study Extends the Younger Dryas “Black Mat” to Russia — A Global Cataclysm Confirmed

New Russian Study Extends the Younger Dryas “Black Mat” to Eastern Europe — A Global Cataclysm Confirmed The evidence for a global cataclysm 12,800 years ago—long dismissed by mainstream science—is now undeniable. In a new peer-reviewed paper published June 6, 2025, in Quaternary, a team of Russian scientists has documented for the first time that the Younger Dryas “black mat” layer…

🚨 Major Younger Dryas Impact Evidence Discovered in Louisiana: Shallow Airburst Crater Identified

Published June 4, 2025 — by George Howard A stunning new scientific paper published today in Airbursts and Cratering Impacts provides some of the most compelling evidence yet for a Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) impact structure—this time in Louisiana. The study, titled “Evidence of a 12,800-year-old Shallow Airburst Depression in Louisiana with Large Deposits of Shocked Quartz and Melted…

The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis: A Guide for the Perplexed: Marc Young provides a six-part counter-gallop

Comet Research Group member and PhD Candidate Marc Young, of Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, has made a mammoth 50,000+ word contribution to the YDIH literature. The article analyses the history of the YDIH, including arguments for and against it, how the hypothesis has evolved over time, and the current state of the debate. It offers the deepest analysis of several key issues yet…

Nature link The different age components are used to evaluate the age of each sample. Other information, such as stratigraphy and artifacts, are used to select components most likely to represent the depositional age. We also have well-dated YDB microspherule and platinum peaks at more than 40 sites across 5 continents that, when present, provide useful chronostratigraphic anchors for selecting…

In 2009 the newly proposed Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis was knee capped by Surovell et al. To this day, despite a comprehensive 2012 expose of Todd Surovell’s flaws, his premature rejection of the YD impact is uncritically cited by opponents of the evidence and remains the final word in many closed minds. It remains a grudging task of the Comet Research Group to periodically refute his…
