>> In particular I find very compelling the theory that the YDIH hit the laurentide ice sheet over Michigan, sending huge ice boulders out that created the Carolina bays and essentially did great damage, but with water ice, thus leaving very little direct physical evidence -- no craters (apart from the Carolina bays), no rocks out of place, no layer of material from the impactor (because it was a comet rather than an asteroid).
In that case, how do can we tell that's what happened?
- cryptonector 2y agoAntonio Zamora is a scientist studying this who writes papers and posts videos on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@Antonio_Zamora https://www.youtube.com/@Antonio_Zamora and he does a good job of showing how the Carolina bays point towards the impact location, and what not. I'm not going to summarize it all here, but the point is that there is some, and perhaps enough evidence to go on.
