Since the 1980s the discovery and study of asteroid impact ejecta in the oldest well-preserved terrains of Western Australia and South Africa, by Don Lowe, Gary Byerly, Bruce Simonson, Scott Hassler, the author and others, and the documentation of new exposed and buried impact structures in several continents, have led to a resurgence of the idea of the catastrophism theory of Cuvier, previously largely supplanted by the uniformitarian theory of Hutton and Lyell. Several mass extinction of species events are known to have occurred in temporal proximity to large asteroid impacts, global volcanic eruptions and continental splitting. Likely links are observed between asteroid clusters and the 580 Ma acritarch radiation, end-Devonian extinction, end-Triassic extinction and end-Jurassic extinction. New discoveries of ~3.5 – 3.2 Ga-old impact fallout units in South Africa have led Don Lowe and Gary Byerly to propose a pr | | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | | 关键词 | Asteroid Impacts of Structures; Asteroid and Astroid Impacts; Catastrophism Theory; Comets; Crustal and | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-6328-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-6327-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-6328-9Series ISSN 2191-5369 Series E-ISSN 2191-5377 | | issn_series | 2191-5369 | | copyright | The Author(s) 2013 |
