Killer Comet - What the Carolina Bays Tell Us Antonio Zamora 1. izdevums

The Carolina Bays have posed a mystery since their discovery in the 1930's. They look like they were made by impacts, but they were not created by impacts of extraterrestrial bodies. Solving the puzzle of how the bays formed provides clues that can be used to confirm that the Earth was hit by a comet 12,900 years ago. The Glacier Ice Impact Hypothesis and the evidence provided by the Carolina Bays clarifies how the large animals that lived in North America and the Clovis people who hunted them died. The whole extinction event took place in less than ten minutes. The Younger Dryas cooling period that followed could have been triggered by the material ejected above the atmosphere by the comet impact.
