Chris, I for one, believe that the impact was probably the sole cause, due
to atmospheric debris blocking photosynthesis for a matter of months. Not
nuclear winter, not acid rain etc. (although this may have happened to an

If that is so, then why is there no measurable extinction peak associated
with the large Cenozoic impact crater?

Any pure impact model *must* account for that "anomaly".  On the other
hand, in a multi-cause model, this is not an anomaly.
