I'm curious how they'll use this discovery to further prolong the I-10 work in Beaumont.

Younger Dryas
Everyone has touched on the global flooding events already but this is also the time that the large mammals in North America went kaput. I believe understanding this event is extremely important to humankind.

You mean we can not blame humans for hunting animals 10x their size to extinction now wooden and stone spears. Which literally is one of the most outlandish ideas to come out of academia...

From what I understand, the theory is that a comet crashed into the Canadian ice sheet, but the force of the impact was so great that it threw huge chunks of rock and ice up into the atmosphere. Those chunks then came down as like mini asteroids and created smaller impact craters all over North America, sparking a firestorm that burned up nearly all of the continent’s vegetation and sent the megafauna into extinction. Those thousands of tiny impact craters created a geological feature now referred to as Carolina Bays.

I thought that theory had been debunked because the Carolina bays don't all point in the same direction (i.e., towards the impact site).
