Effect of the Tunguska Meteor and Sunspots on Radiocarbon in Tree Rings
Abstract
SEVERAL hypotheses have been advanced to explain the peculiar circumstances associated with the fall of the Tunguska Meteor on June 30, 1908, in Siberia (lat. 60° 55' N., long. 101° 57' E.). An exhaustive description of the phenomena is given by Krinov1. Especially puzzling is the apparent absence of a meteoric crater, but Krinov2 does report some recent analyses of soil in the region which show iiickeliferous iron and silicate globules.
