The size of a bus and it slipped past the radar? Geez, that is a city killer if it would of hit in a populated area. Thanks for the link Snowmom.

I got here late and the link only takes me to the Discovery store. However, this one gets me to "Antarctic Crater Linked to Ancient Die Off." When we get it all figured out, I suspect that every major extinction was initiated by an impact.

If you copy and paste the first link it will take you where snowmom intended. Jim

Dave, then the number they post should be 4x as great? Somewhere between 3/3 = 1/3 + 2/3, and 4/4 = 1/4 + 3/4, depending on how much is land and how much is ocean, and how much that ratio has changed over time. So our total number = 1/3 or 1/4 of total impacts. I believe (no data to back it up) that when another planetoid (some think it was destroyed and became part of the earth-Moon, but I think it could have been Mercury, which has lost it's outer shell) hit earth, the crater became our first ocean bed. This left space for the continents to drift around in. Without it, our floating continents wouldn't be possible. With the huge crater on Mars, it could have floating continents too - if it still had a molten mantle.

This may help some. I found a post on the subject that might make it easier to see for some what was posted.
