Abstract: van Hoesel and Company discredit evidence they provide

Here is an abstract of a curious study from our Dutch skeptics. They call into question the presence of shocked quartz in the YDB despite the YDB “team” itself never making such claims. (Independent forensic support for the YDB hypothesis by our hero Mahaney did make such a claim for the Venezuelan deposits). The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis suggests that multiple airbursts…

Extraordinary or ordinary?: West responds to CBS about latest paper

We agree with them that glass could be formed a lot of different ways.
