Hello for All,

Neocatastrophism seems headed in the right direction.
The sudden climate stabilization at the end of the Pleistocene may be 
actually associated with the catastrophic effect of the impact of fragments 
from a prehistoric comet, not an asterod, initiating a new climate order, 
the Holocene.

Now, with new information and technologies available, it is possible to 
identify the scars of meteoritic events today on the Internet, using Google 
Earth -- thousands of craters,  countless, are enough to help us imagine the 
effects on climate and biota of the planet, including humans and their 
culture, from catastrophic meteor explosions of atomic bomb power.

The scars left by the explosions of meteors on the continents are 
identifiable in "Palaeolagoons" worldwide.
They are distributed near our backyards, stemming from processes a little 
different from the conventional impacts of small asteroids.
Palaeolagoons range from a few hundred meters to a few tens of kilometers in 
diameter.
They are aligned and elliptical structures, where impactites can be found, 
and they may be 12,900 years old, or younger.

The research, unpublished, will appear in a Panel: "Palaeolagoons - new 
perspective to the meteoritic craters in Brazil," during  the13th National 
Astronomy Meeting (Encontro Nacional de Astronomia) -- ENAST 2010 on Recife, 
Brazil, November 13/14.

More about Neocatastrophism and Palaeolagoons, with the research state of 
the art (in English), and the Panel's meeting (in Portuguese) are available 
in the annexes of the site: http://sites.google.com/site/cosmopier/

best regards, Pierson
