Tar Hell: Carolina coast and the UK catastrophically inundated by tsunami circa 1000 AD

I have always been personally curious about the lack of documented evidence for a tsunami ever occuring on my home coast of North Carolina. Some of the largest undersea land slides on earth have been documented off our wonderful Outer Banks, and earthquakes are not completely unknown in the Carolinas. Both cause big waves. But more to the point for the Tusk, some very credible work has documented…

Blast from past: YD team member diciplined by Golden State geo board in 2002

I have nothing but an iPhone until later tomorrow. So this post is necessarily brief. Allen West has taken a hit to his credibility (and to some extent the Tusk’s) from charges by Younger Dryas Hypothesis critics ranging from professional misconduct to falsifying lab results. As an advocate of Allen’s and someone who has spent years watching him personally sacrifice with no financial…

From: http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/caseof.html Holmes; Are you carbonizing onions or smoking rope in that calabash again? BY GEORGE WATSON LOOK AT THIS! GREAT BALLS OF FIRE! Neutrons out of something the size of a football from a sustainable D to D fusion.

Bob Kobres' A Nickel Pickle: Part D!

A NICKEL PICKLE The Problems of Building High-Tech From a Meteoroid Wreck by Bob Kobres Part D From the original on Bob Kobres’ site here. Uniformitarianism succeeded in displacing catastrophism as the acceptable approach to unraveling Earth’s past, largely because slow moving glaciers better explained the presence of displaced boulders. Catastrophists had surmised that these large…

A Nickel Pickle Part C

A NICKEL PICKLE The Problems of Building High-Tech From a Meteoroid Wreck by Bob Kobres Part C The contemporary picture of pre-history has been pieced together with total disregard for the effects impact phenomena had on our ancestors. Obviously the image of our past will be much different when this newly discovered influence is factored in. As already mentioned, it is becoming clear that…

NatGeo gets it wrong on Carbon Spherules and Nanodiamonds

Don’t get me wrong from the headline.  I love National Geographic.  I have received an issue every month of my entire life.  But the reporter here, John Roach, made a critical mistake in his otherwise largely accurate report regarding Scott and Pinter’s work. Here is what he says: What’s more, those spherules are found alongside microscopic diamonds, or nanodiamonds, which often…
