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…

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…

Ancient Calendar, Recently Discovered, May Document a Long-Ago Disaster, NYT, August 12, 2024 This is an incredibly important article considering the sweep of media coverage in the 18 years since the Comet Research Group and the Tusk first published the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The YDI is positioned in the article as reasonable…

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…
