[meteorite-list] Regional Deforestation Associated with Australasian Tektite Fall??

[Paul H]

A recent paper, Haines et al. (2004), described 
fluvial flood deposits containing abundant "abundant 
organic debris, including whole tree trunks and 
mammal bones", that its authors interpret to be 
"the effects of regional deforestation, increased 
run off and erosion, and other environmental 
disruptions expected in the aftermath of a major 
impact event."

The article is:

C. F., and Bunopas, S., 2004, Flood deposits 
penecontemporaneous with ~0.8 Ma tektite fall in 
NE Thailand: impact-induced environmental effects? 
Earth and Planetary Science Letters. vol. 225, no. 
1-2, pp. 19-28 (30 August 2004)
