UC anthropologist’s North Bend find tied to comet theory

Are diamonds, gold, silver, copper and comet debris found in North Bend evidence of a comet explosion nearly 13,000 years ago?

Once a skeptic, University of Cincinnati anthropologist Kenneth Tankersley has warmed to the idea that a comet may have exploded over Canada, wiping out the woolly mammoth and other animal life and raining debris as far away as Ireland.

According to the Columbus Dispatch, both Tankersley and Allen West, originator of the theory, have linked the debris found here and elsewhere to the event in Canada by tests that show that they share the same age and composition.

Tankersley is writing a paper on the theory and his findings, which he hopes to publish later this year.
