Reply to van Hoesel et al.: Impact-related Younger Dryas boundary nanodiamonds from The Netherlands.
Van Hoesel et al. (1) refer to nanodiamonds at the top of the Usselo horizon at Aalsterhut, The Netherlands, having an average age of 10.845 ± 0.015 C ka (12.70 ± 0.06 cal ka) (1); they found no nanodiamonds outside hat layer. Earlier, nanodiamonds were reported at the top of theUsselo in Lommel, Belgium,∼30 km southwest of Aalsterhut, acknowledged as the Younger Dryas boundary layer (YDB) [Tia...
متن کاملWidespread platinum anomaly documented at the Younger Dryas onset in North American sedimentary sequences
Previously, a large platinum (Pt) anomaly was reported in the Greenland ice sheet at the Younger Dryas boundary (YDB) (12,800 Cal B.P.). In order to evaluate its geographic extent, fire-assay and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (FA and ICP-MS) elemental analyses were performed on 11 widely separated archaeological bulk sedimentary sequences. We document discovery of a distinct Pt a...
متن کاملLarge Pt anomaly in the Greenland ice core points to a cataclysm at the onset of Younger Dryas.
One explanation of the abrupt cooling episode known as the Younger Dryas (YD) is a cosmic impact or airburst at the YD boundary (YDB) that triggered cooling and resulted in other calamities, including the disappearance of the Clovis culture and the extinction of many large mammal species. We tested the YDB impact hypothesis by analyzing ice samples from the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2)...
متن کاملOrigin and provenance of spherules and magnetic grains at the Younger Dryas boundary.
One or more bolide impacts are hypothesized to have triggered the Younger Dryas cooling at ∼12.9 ka. In support of this hypothesis, varying peak abundances of magnetic grains with iridium and magnetic microspherules have been reported at the Younger Dryas boundary (YDB). We show that bulk sediment and/or magnetic grains/microspherules collected from the YDB sites in Arizona, Michigan, New Mexic...
متن کاملIndependent evaluation of conflicting microspherule results from different investigations of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis.
Firestone et al. sampled sedimentary sequences at many sites across North America, Europe, and Asia [Firestone RB, et al. (2007) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 106:16016-16021]. In sediments dated to the Younger Dryas onset or Boundary (YDB) approximately 12,900 calendar years ago, Firestone et al. reported discovery of markers, including nanodiamonds, aciniform soot, high-temperature melt-glass, and m...
