Great Paper: The case for significant numbers of extraterrestrial impacts through the late Holocene

I love this paper.  It’s in a great journal, chock full of well-sourced, multidisciplinary information, and written by a rock-solid expert in an immensely important field: Dendrochronology.  While other Dendrochronologists signed-up for the terribly political job of attempting to document slow and incremental temperature change over the ages, Mike Baillie became an expert in the…

False Alarm: Cornell site still protecting Napier paper

Unfortunately my tip regarding the Cornell site does not seem to work until (perhaps) the article is  actually published.  Working to find out more… “You can’t claim ownership of 1003.0744.  We do not allow people other than the authors of an article to claim ownership of an article before it has been publicly announced. Historically, some authors have given the article…

Public Access: Napier's Royal Astronomical Society paper now available on web

I just heard the Napier pap(i)er providing an astronomical context for the YD event can be had on the public access site here: Cornell University Library.  I plugged in my name and am waiting for the verification code to be sent by email. I’ll try to put the paper up on Scribed — if that is within the rules.  Then you can flip through it right here at The Tusk without signing in.

Geology Conference: Radioactive "Green Layer" at Ice Age site in Mexico

The markers were located at a well-known Mexican Ice-Age site This is particularly interesting in light of Vance Haynes’ entirely separate publication last week.   I cant find much on these folks, or at least Mellissa Scruggs.  Perhaps they are young.  If so, hats off to them.  Their research confirmed the recent findings of one of the world’s greatest archeologists.  And…

Royal Astronomical Society: Napier provides astronomical model for YDB Impact Event

Bill Napier has a significant paper coming out soon in the Monthly Bulletin of the Royal Astronomical Society, and I got a look at it pre-publication.   While I cant share the paper itself, I can share the abstract STRIKE and a few snippets STRIKE.  The paper is significant because for the first time it provides an astronomical context for the 12,900 event.  Napier shows that the event is…

Terror From The Sky

This 1498 engraving of a bad day on the continent caught my eye on Michel-Alain Combes’ page here.  I think it is from a famous French fall of that time period. Can someone translate the French for our readers?  [ Click the comments link below to see the translation and explanation of the engraving] Le sixième sceau de l’Apocalypse d’après Dürer Le grand peintre et graveur…

Google Earth video of Carolina Bays

A couple of months ago I was having some fun with Google Earth Pro and put together this little video demonstrating the ubiquity of Carolina Bays in Eastern North Carolina. This is one of those projects where you swear you will return and do a “second draft” in the near future — and never do. So it is still kinda rough. But people unfamiliar with the Carolina Bays should find it…

NASA mentions dark and dead comets for the first time: WISE looking for them

I have been interested for some time whether the WISE mission now underway is able to confirm or refute, in part, the widely dismissed theories of Bill Napier and the British NEO catastrophists.  In particular, that the solar system is host to dangerous dark bodies as well as the better known and more easily spotted bright comets and reflective asteroids.  [See:  Extreme albedo comets and the…
