Another Angry Woman on Nostr: TIL that in 1981, a conference was called to organise a search for the impact crater ...
TIL that in 1981, a conference was called to organise a search for the impact crater for the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs. That same week, at another conference, a paper was presented having found just such a crater off Yucatán but it wasn't noted because everyone was at the other conference.
