It's not related to fossils, but astronomy is one of my other passions. I've managed to snap a few photos over the years.... Comet Halley, March 1986: Comet Hale-Bopp, March 1997: I hope to capture Comet ISON later this year.... Eclipse at sunset, May 2012: Venus transit at sunset, June 2012: Both events at sunset within a month.... What are the odds? Anyone else have astrophotos?

This is Wild, Just imagine what took place. The explosion and shock wave and then Molten glass landing on the forest floor. Quote from paper.... "Paleograss imprints and H2O diffusion fronts on the bottom of some in situ samples indicate emplacement on wet sediments before being completely quenched, consistent with local late Pleistocene environmental conditions at that time. Finally, all glasses occur in sediments of late Pleistocene age" Widespread glasses generated by cometary fireballs during the late Pleistocene in the Atacama Desert, Chilehttps://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article/doi/10.1130/G49426.1/609354/Widespread-glasses-generated-by-cometary-fireballs click on pdf
