but California layered roccks lack tektittes

PLease excuse the typos, as I am typing this essentially without seeing the text at all -

Tom, Califronia rocks lack the "spherules" - the tektites. Aside from the fossilizing remains one always sees in California coastal rocks, one also sees water deposited minerals - these are lacking in the wind blown sediments we've seen so far -

The main item of interest here for me is the fact that the rock show strata, and these are not annual - apparently pretty regularly periodic mid-size impacts release enough CO2 and wter to cement each strata - the issue is age and date right now -

5 more months to go -
