[meteorite-list] Impact Origin of Carolina Bays Argued For at 2007 AGU Meeting

[Paul]

Dear Friends,

Apparently, there is going to be some interesting papers 
at the 2007 Joint Assembly of the American Geophysical 
Union as there will be a session presenting evidence for 
an impact having occurred during Younger-Dyras times 
at the "end of the last Ice Age. Below are links to 
representative abstracts:

1. Evidence for an Extraterrestrial Impact Event 12,900 years 
ago that Contributed to Megafaunal Extinctions and the Younger 
Dryas Cooling

http://submissions5.agu.org/aguconvener/ConvenerView.asp?ref=1388

2. Formation of the Carolina Bays: ET Impact vs. Wind-and-Water
http://submissions5.agu.org/aguconvener/ConvenerView.asp?ref=1334

3. Extraterrestrial Markers Found at Clovis Sites Across North 
America

http://submissions5.agu.org/aguconvener/ConvenerView.asp?ref=1393

4. Is There Evidence for Impact-Triggered Fires at the End 
Pleistocene?

http://submissions5.agu.org/aguconvener/ConvenerView.asp?ref=513

The session itself is " PP05: New Insights into Younger Dryas 
Climatic Instability, Mass Extinction, the Clovis People, and 
Extraterrestrial Impacts

http://www.agu.org/meetings/ja07/?content=search&show=detail&sessid=159

It looks like Firestone and his supporters are refining their
arguments and dropping the implausible ones, i.e. the so-called
meteor crater in Lake Michigan, and concentrating on what they 
regard the basic evidence for their ideas.

Best Regards,

Paul H.
