Makes sense - remember, we've seen this happen on Jupiter when Shoemaker Levy 9 hit and left the 3 giant scars.

Depends on the velocity of the object and the density of the gas.

Well I guess there is a reason they call it the Taurid Complex
I have a copy of GH latest book, interesting and easy read, highly recommend if you're into that stuff.
Don't know if you're familiar with 'geologist' George Howard, he's involved in the Comet Research Group also mentioned by GH and RC.
On his youtube channel he has some interesting videos on the matter and conferences from Firestone and West. It's been a while since I've watched them so can't really give you an to much detail but it's pretty much about the same stuff GH talks about.

So both the dinosaurs and wooly mammoths died from comet/asteroid impacts. Fascinating find - are we overdue for another one of these events?
