Hello Folks,

Sky & Tel, Sep 2009, pp. 20-25, Ice Age Impact: Did a comet wipe out early
North Americans and the huge beasts they hunted? (by Ivan Semeniuk)

If you don't have a S & T subscription but are interested in finding out what may have
happened about 13,000 years ago, you should soon get your copy on your newsstand:

- So says Shakespeare's Macbeth
- Demise of the megbeasts
- Where's the crater?
- Will diamonds tell the tale?

In Ivan Semeniuk's article you'll meet and listen to scientists and meteoriticists
whose names most of us are familiar with: Allen West, James Kennett, Mark
Boslough, Ted Bunch, Clark Chapman and you'll read about the Columbian
mammoth, about saber-toothed cats, about the Clovis people, about a possible
smoking gun (the so-called "dark mat", a dark layer in sedimentary rock in
Murray Springs, Arizona), about elevated iridium levels, fullerene molecules,
hexagonal nanodiamonds, and much more.

I really enjoyed that article and it is definitely a must-read!

Cheers from
Germany,

Bernd
