Nanodiamond= Generally microscopic diamond that results from a DETONATION
“The nanodiamonds that we found at all six locations exist<br />
only in sediments associated with the Younger Dryas<br />
Boundary layers, not above it or below it. These discoveries<br />
provide strong evidence for a cosmic impact<br />
event at approximately 12,900 years ago that would<br />
have had enormous environmental consequences for plants,<br />
animals and humans across North America.”<br />
