SOS: Dutchmen Desperately Seeking Paleo-Plant Wiz

Tusk buddy and YDB team co-author, Johan “Han” Kloostermann, sent me a note sometime ago that I failed to post. Han is the resident expert on the “Usselo Horizon,” a Dutch analog to the Younger Dryas Black Mat and associated YDB layer found throughout North America. I hope Han will elaborate further in the comments section, but it appears he simply needs an open-minded…

The Beeb's Simon Redfern picks up Harvard evidence for Younger Dryas Boundary Event

BBC link    SCIENCE & ENVIRONMENT 1 August 2013 Last updated at 14:52 ET Ice core data supports ancient space impact idea By Simon Redfern BBC News New data from Greenland ice cores suggest North America may have suffered a large cosmic impact about 12,900 years ago. A layer of platinum is seen in ice of the same age as a known abrupt climate transition, US scientists report. The…

Overholt & Melott 2013

We find that the increases in 14C and 10 Be at the time of the Younger Dryas are consistent with the airburst of a long-period comet of the suggested mass, making this a plausible scenario. Overholt & Melott 2013 Cosmogenic nuclide enhancement via deposition from long-period comets as a test of the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis [su_document…

Mahaney & Keiser 2013

The breakup in space of a comet or asteroid prior to impact could produce a surface or oceanic impact by the largest object, and hundreds of smaller fragments could create air-bursts affecting an entire hemisphere (Bunch et al. 2012). Approximately 90% of all ejecta from the main impact would fall within five crater radii, although fine material is expected to be random distributed over a much…
