I think I saw some noise that some people were predicitng a big strike hiding in the remains of Swift Tuttle, and that we would get hit in the very near future, but no one ever showed any proof.

Look at that caveman go ...Alley oop Alley oop

Whoa! Me dino didn't think about that. Recall a teacher telling little dino in elementary school that mean 'ole mankind likely hunted mammoths, giant sloths and what not to extinction.
Heard that also said about us wiping out Neanderthals, but last I heard is that we all have some Neanderthal DNA.
All in a sudden I'm nostalgic for a favorite comic strip once in The Dothan Eagle on the southeast tip of Alabama. A song came out at about that time~

Mastodon , mammoths, giant beaver all megafauna wiped out.
Of course up UNtill recently it was thought to be over hunting by that bad creature man when North America had open borders and he waltzed across that old land bridge in Alaska for the first time ( not man has been here far longer).

I am not sure how all of this gets accepted as history or at least who gets credit for the rediscovery. The Scablands, the Great Lakes , the Finger lakes, the Grand Canyon are geographical features shaped by this event. This study to me is additional evidence or collaborating to Firestone's et al paper in 2007.

It is thought the bombardment came from the Swift -Tuttle comet. The Perseids are prolific meteor showers associated with the comet Swift–Tuttle. The Perseids are so called because the point from which they appear to hail lies in the constellation Perseus. Wikipedia Meteoroid: A small rocky or metal object, usually between the size of a grain of sand or a boulder, that orbits the sun. It originates from a comet or asteroid. Meteor: A meteoroid that enters the earth's atmosphere and vaporizes. ... Historically, objects larger than 10 meters across have been called asteroids.Mar 10, 2013

When I was a small town newspaper reporter who mostly covered the events of Bibb County, Alabama, during the 70s, I became amazed by what some people believed just because they spur of the moment yammered some nonsense out of their mouths.
Hey, and me dino can do that too~even with a keyboard! (Psst! But I don't really have to believe what I spur of the moment say or write, though).

Thanks for the first foot report, dino;^)

What wiped out the dinosaurs me dino is usually called an asteroid but I have read and/or heard it called a comet on lesser occasions.
Having been there at the time, me dino can attest it was a poorly navigated crashing ship of brain-eaters from Venus in a disastrous attempt to escape their overly-warmed by CO2 industrialized by corporations dying world.
Me dino swears this on the honor of truth icons King Barry, Al Gore and The Evil Hag.

It would be nice if the writer decided if it was a comet or a meteor.
"EARTH WAS STRUCK BY A DISINTEGRATING COMET"
"According to this study, the remnants of the meteor which struck Earth still persist within our Solar System today."
