Scientific paper

Particular problems in the fossil record are placed in context with a GRB event causing death by radiation exposure, followed by comet showers from a disruption in the Oort Cloud. The absence of pollen below the iridium layer at the KT and Triassic-Jurassic boundaries, the pattern of extinction on land and in the oceans and divergence times of molecular DNA studies may all have a common root in ionizing radiation.
