[meteorite-list] New papers about hypothetical, Pleistocene Saginaw Bay impact

[Paul]

The Geological Society of America recently published two new
Papers arguing for a hypothtical, Pleistocene Saginaw Bay impact
In their “In the Footsteps of Warren B. Hamilton: New Ideas in
Earth Science” volume. They are:
