Mass Extinction Events, Cometary Impacts

Scientific paper

Few readers of this journal can be unaware of the well-developed hypothesis advanced by Alvarez et al., and since built upon in publications too numerous and varied to mention, that the end-Cretaceous mass extinction event was due to an impact by a large asteroid. Indeed personal discussions with astronomers interested only in extra-solar system phenomena suggest that they regard this as being a bane rather than a boon, since acquaintances expect them to be conversant with, and intrigued by, whatever happened 65 Myr ago. This communication is designed to elucidate the history behind the idea.
