Dear Friends, There is a new paper that proposes an interesting and novel idea about the selectivity of the Cretaceous-Paleogene Extinctions.
It is: Kikuchi, R., and M. Vanneste, 2010, A theoretical exercise in the modeling of ground-level ozone resulting from the K–T asteroid impact: Its possible link with the extinction selectivity of terrestrial vertebrates. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology. vol. 288, no. 1-4, pp.14–23. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2010.01.027 A somewhat unrelated and downloadable PDF file about about "meteorites, impacts, and mass extinction" is: Meteorites, Impacts, and Mass Extinction by Prof. Stephen A. Nelson, Tulane University http://www.tulane.edu/~sanelson/geol204/impacts.pdf http://www.tulane.edu/~sanelson/geol204/index.html Yours, Paul H. ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
