New Investigation of a Greenland ice core platinum anomaly near the Bølling-Allerød/Younger Dryas boundary
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News
Green, C. E., 2019. Investigating the origin of a Greenland ice core geochemical anomaly near the Bølling-Allerød/Younger Dryas boundary (Doctoral dissertation, Durham University). http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/13490/ http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/13490/1/C_Green_thesis_final_CORRECTIONS.pdf Green (2019) noted: "The source of a platinum peak identified in the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) ice core associated with high platinum/iridium (Pt/Ir) and platinum/aluminium (Pt/Al) ratios, and previous research attributed the anomaly to an unusual iron-rich Ir-poor meteorite impact." Green (2019) concluded: I. the Laacher See eruption is not the Pt spike source because: A. the Laacher See tephra has low Pt concentrations, B. the Laacher See tephra’s geochemical ratios are dissimilar to the GISP2 Pt spike and C. conversion of the Pt spike timing to the newest ice core age-depth model shows a chronological offset of ~60 years between the two events. II. The event resulting in the Pt spike occurred ~60 years after GS-1 cooling, and was therefore not the primary trigger. III. and the Pt spike origin is interpreted as either: A. a noncataclysmic impact of an undiscovered iron meteorite B. or an unidentified Pt-rich volcanic eruption contemporaneous with the anomaly, whose aerosol fractionated in the atmosphere or ice.

Younger Dryas platinum anomaly reported from South Carolina - Open Access paper

New evidence that an extraterrestrial collision 12,800 years ago triggered an abrupt climate change for Earth, the Conversation, October 22, 2019 https://theconversation.com/new-evidence-that-an-extraterrestrial-collision-12-800-years-ago-triggered-an-abrupt-climate-change-for-earth-118244 the paper is: Moore, C.R., M.J. Brooks, A.C. Goodyear, T.A. Ferguson, A.G. Perrotti, S. Mitra, A. Listecki, B. King, D.J. Mallinson, C.S. Lane, B. Shapiro, J. Knapp, A. West, D.L. Carlson, W. Wolbach, T.R. Them, S.M. Harris, and S. Pyne-O’Donnell. 2019. Sediment Cores from White Pond, South Carolina, contain a platinum anomaly, pyrogenic carbon peak, and coprophilous spore decline at 12.8 ka. Scientific Reports volume 9, Article number: 15121 (2019) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-51552-8 Regardless of how the platinum anomaly is interpreted, White Pond, a Carolina Bay predates it and the Younger Dryas. Thus, the above paper further supports the idea that the Carolina Bays are not connected to Younger Dryas event as concluded by: Schaetzl, R.J., Sauck, W., Heinrich, P.V., Colgan, P.M. and Holliday, V.T., 2019.
