I thought you might be interested. Ejecta Some ejecta I found that had been tossed around. What tossed it I had not a guess. Strange and quite queer; no volcano was near, or round crater to account for the mess. How rude and sore cruel, that it break every rule then lie in plain sight n'er the less? The small white line is 1 mile long for scale. There are tens of thousands of square miles of assorted ejecta, and breccias. And of rivers of melt, and pyroclastic materials in northern Mexico. All in pristine, unweathered condition like they only happened yesterday. And if you follow those materials up stream back to their respective sources you find no volcanoes, and no craters; only bare patches of smoothly melted stone. Or miles wide, irregularly shaped melt basins, Or strangely shaped denuded mountains with all traces of alluvium blown away. And which, sometimes, in their undulating lines, and angular scale shaped ridges, look for all the world like the spine of a dragon sleeping in the earth. If you study those locations carefully you will quickly begin to get a far different picture of the way a large cluster of comet fragments reacts with the Earths atmosphere and geology from what is taught or believed, or has even been imagined. Following the flows of ejecta and melted rock is so easy a child could do it when the stuff is in such good shape. And in Mexico you always get to a place where you are pointing straight up and knowing beyond all shadow of doubt that the heat and pressure to melt the mountains and blow them away came from up there. With all associated materials intact, unweathered, and in context, as if it happened only yesterday the importance of the Mexican blast zone can not be overstated. It is our "cypher key" for a true understanding of the consequences of a major comet impact event . The idea that our atmosphere somehow protects us from these things, or that impacts capable of causing significant geological modification of the the terrain and ecology are a thing of the past, and are rare, is a children's fairy tale. A comet fragment with sufficient energy to pulverize a mountain on the moon will do even more harm here. But as you study the Mexican impact blast area you will very quickly realize that here on Earth our atmosphere plays a bigger role than we thought; almost all of the objects kinetic energy gets translated to heat. The heat hits the ground in a supersonic, hyper thermal down draft of perhaps millions of degrees. Most of the time even the detonation shock wave itself gets transfered into the heat. But here is no missing energy. And it doesn't "dissipate harmlessly" in the atmosphere. The mountain is still history. It just very quickly, and violently, melts and goes away. Think about a gust of wind so hot that it instantly makes granite flow like water. And it, just another gust in a turbulent storm. Then realize it's not imaginary. Such things have happened in the recent past. There are mountain tops at 13,000 feet elevation in the Rocky mountains of Colorado, their glacial ridges melted, blasted, and blown over the ridge top in runnels of melt like wax on the sides of a candle. And recent enough that the blast melt materials have never been subjected to the grinding action of a glacier. Or mountains in eastern Texas softened and tossed around like waves in an angry sea. .And it's not just in North America. I can show you thousands of square miles of sand dunes in the Sahara, on the Arabian peninsula or the Gobi desert fused and pelted into shapes that look like half mile wide peaks of whipped meringue on a pie. Hyper thermal atmospheric pyro-plastic geomorphology is not just a hypothesis . When the stone is in a liquid state gravity is not the only force acting on it. It is also being driven away from the heat and pressure that melted it. And it is no longer a question just of geology but of thermal, and fluid dynamics. The lines of flow are determined by the lines of driving force as well as gravity and obstacles. So sometimes melted rock flows uphill. And those lines of force, like iron fillings on a piece of paper over a magnet, give us some small clue as to the nature of the objects driving the flow.. The flowing, melted materials stopped in mid-flow in the images above are each frozen snapshots in time of a tiny corner of an undocumented, unstudied, and unimaginably violent event in this continents recent past. If you are still looking for round crater impact structures on Earth you aren't doing Earth impact science. You're just chasing butterflies in the playground. But here's another frozen moment. Still no crater though. This was a multiple blast event. The largest of the compression shock circles are 17 miles wide. The continental, hyper thermal, impact firestorm I speak of is no theory. It is empirical fact. The effects are easy for anyone with a pair of eyes and some satellite images to see. But never the less, if you are interested, I can show you hundreds of clear and unmistakable undocumented blast sites. Many of them with obvious pieces of the object that exploded embedded in the mountain sides around the blast centers, but no cratering. The more I study the effects of these objects the less I think I comprehend about the objects themselves. And the more frightening they seem. There is far too much energy in most of them than can be accounted for by simple mass and velocity. Some of them, it would seem, by many orders of magnitude. I can show you a few remote places in North Amerca where the tops of mountains have been melted as smooth and level as fresh concrete; no kinetic impact effects, no blast, or shock wave effects. Just heat; inconcievable heat and pressure that seems sometimes to radiate and flow outwards from an impossibly small point for far too long. And the melt looks as recent as if it happened only yesterday. If you're interested I can send you more. Best Regards, Dennis Cox
