The end of the Ice Age and the death of millions of animals and numerous species. Around 9750 BCE, with the end of the Ice Age, came the formation of the Carolina Bays, more than 500,000 shallow elliptical depressions found along North America’s Atlantic coastal plain from New Jersey to Florida. At the bottom of these “bays” is an unusual blue clay containing iridium, carbon spherules, and nanodiamonds, which have been determined to be extraterrestrial markers. Ted Bunch, Richard Firestone, and Ken Tankersley propose that the formation of these bays is linked to the Younger Dryas impact event, which may have led to the extinction of large mammals, such as mammoths, and the Clovis people, the first inhabitants of North America.
I especially appreciate Malkowski’s coverage of this episode in Earth’s history in chapter 11, “An Invisible Cataclysm.” Any civilization that existed prior to the end of the Ice Age would have suffered as greatly as the animals did.
