I thought this sounded like the same song, different day! Anyway, his fitting the "fragged tusks" data into his 13kbp "event" theory are blown away by one little problem: "But having gone out and tested the hypothesis of tusk impacts, and having apparently uncovered such items - the team was then astonished to find the animal remains were about 20,000 years older than had been anticipated." But no problem!: "Maybe, these were tusks from dead animals that were just exposed on the surface, so when this thing blew up in the atmosphere, it would have peppered them. The date could really be anywhere from 13,000 to 35-40,000 years ago." (That sound you heard was joints popping from r-e-a-c-h-i-n-g for that possibility). Yet: "In the case of the bison, we know that it survived the impact because there's new bone growth around these marks." ______________________________________________ http://www.meteoritecentral.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
