A winning use of conternt
After watching Jay's WAbinar tonight I reflected that it's great to be in a university driven content mastery establishment. The primary question is how did the dinosaurs die out!?
It came to me there are some really awesome methods of developing content. One of the greatest ways is the build a little, test a little method of putting forth a hypothesis and formulating a theory from it!
Here are the steps in this scenario:
- age dating. determining the when
- determining the what ... rock formations
- looking for anomalies (spikes in iridium levels)
- association. Noting similarities with existing known asteroid debris
- chemical component transformation
- physical characteristics Amount of impact and lines of fracturing
- derivation of impact site underwater based on % of earths surface covered by water
- finding and matching the morphology of a crater to derive the sought after characteristics The how
- the where ..Chicxulub crater in the Gulf of Mexico fit the right conditions
We can use this reasoning to derive our own rocking and relevant site content.

Can’t wait for the replay, read some great reviews. The webinars are on at 1am here in UK, ironically I am working on WA now and it’s 3.30am so I may as well set the alarm for 1 and caught it live.
I haven't watched this yet so some of it makes sense but others I am sure will click after I watch it

Very interesting. I wonder if its still affecting that part of the world with the 7.5 earthquake that hit Mexico yesterday. Thanks Mike.
That's a greater problem related to plate tectonics rather than asteroid strikes. Those quakes are at about the easternmost point of the Pacific ring of fire!
