1. The Comet (Click Here for more Information)
140 Million years ago our solar system was invaded by the huge Upheaval Comet from a very large Super Nova full of heavy metals like gold, silver, vanadium, uranium.
It passed close to the sun and was tidally ripped into pieces. Parts of it must have landed on the Moon and many places on earth like Australia, China, India, etc.
A large chunk ~ 600-700 miles long in low Earth Orbit on a path from northwest Canada toward the southeast landed in Utah, the corner of Colorado, and Wyoming.
Present Thinking:
Present thinking is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sevier_orogeny
The Sevier orogeny was a mountain-building event that affected western North America from northern Canada to the north to Mexico to the south.
There are many problems with this theory.
Q: How can a plate subduction only affect surface rocks?
A: They can't!
Subduction layers 10-50 miles deep cannot create that type of surface thrust faults!
Worst of all, the Farallon Plate was moving from west to east. The Sevier Orogeny was from the Northwest to the Southeast!
What does explain the orogeny is the near passage of a huge body. Gravity will crush and drag surface rocks with them.
The huge "dirty Snowballs" melted, hit the earth like water balloons, and made a huge series of scars on the earth!
Ice transforming to water and steam along the path would produce all kinds of havoc.
Comet segments making intermittent contact would make multiple radiating thrust faults, older ones pushed over newer ones.
There it shed tons of gold particles across the area.
13 thousand years ago another low orbit comet wiped out the mega fauna of western north America, leaving gold mixed in with trees and mammoth tusks being discovered now in the gold fields. many mammoths were blown into Siberia and buried in the ice.
Dumping elements from Friction, steam detonation, and gravity began reducing it's size and speed, but also severely compressed the land and produced surface thrust faults all the 2,000 miles to Utah where it finally ground to a stop perhaps a minute and a half after first contact.
An example of thin-skinned thrusting in Montana where the white Madison Limestone is repeated, with one occurrence in the foreground (that pinches out with distance) and another to the upper right corner and top of the photo.
This initiated what is known as the "Sevier Orogeny" 138 million years ago and prepared the way for the Laramide Orogeny which followed 70 million years later.
The main mass of the comet impacted in central Utah and sent shock waves radiating out toward the southwest from that point.
Those shock waves undulated the ground so future weathering could create the "natural" arches and bridges of the area.
Seismic waves travel at different speeds through different media, which forced blobs of water to become seismic drills, first driving away from the point of impact, then buoying toward the surface during after shocks, creating massive Sandstone Pipes.
By the time a minute or so later the comet reached central Utah it was thrusting (plowing) ONE mile deep.
A few seconds later, On the other side of the Colorado River it was thrusting TWO miles deep!
I wish the above had been drawn from NW to SE, the true movement, but cross-wise will have to do for now.
Heavy metals in the comet were released as Asteroids that created a multitude of impact craters identifiable by the unique elements released in each supernova. These were most likely mingled by interstellar collisions of cometary knots from several supernovae.
Sorry but no one has done a precise search for what elements were in the comet.
But miners in the area have recognized unusual abundance of several.The comet probably also supplied the gold of the Black Hills and the mountain tops of Colorado. Even this small sample allows us to distinguish parts if that comet from any other.
That is an intriguing assembly easily identifying the pieces - And look where they are found!
2. The Impacts
The Back Splashes are still visible!
Another look -
Runoff created the Staked Plains. Chihuahuan Desert. etc.
The first part of the comet to make solid contact was probably the segment in the northeast section - Wyoming.
Aftr passing through a hundred miles of atmosphere and 2,000 miles of dragging on the ground it had possibly slowed to around 10 miles per second. no longer enough energy to vaporize or melt rock, it went to the next and blew away 10,000 Impact step - Excavation, and blew away 10,000 feet of dirt in a hundred mile area.
The blast blew everything away right down to Precambrian rocks (gray).
Then slowly the basin began to fill with Cretaceous soil - after 140 Mya . The Mesa Verde Formation id Green.
65 Mya Tertiary volcanics were released to the southwest. (orange)
Fallout included uranium and perhaps gold.
Between that and the largest segment, many other segments were each doing their thing, creating havoc between there and central Utah.
In central Utah the land was being compressed even below sea level. It buckled at the swell and the land beyond "splashed " up, but continued moving southeast.
The land several thousand feet deep beyond the swell slid on a layer near sea level. When the land wave reached the present location of the Colorado River, the generated steam exploded and ripped open Roberts Rift, flinging boulders up from deep within the rift.

ABSTRACT:
A huge comet hundreds of miles in diameter composed of frozen gases and a variety of heavy metals from perhaps numerous very large supernova broke up and impacted earth 140,000,000 years ago.
In low earth orbit, it made first contact in northwest Canada, thrust faulting upper rock layers and depositing gold and other heavy metals as it rolled 2,000 miles southeastward, finally coming to rest in central Utah where it:
1. Ended Jurassic Time!
2. Deposited a wide variety of elements unique to the area.
3. Plowed a tremendous amount of rock formations a considerable distance to the south east.
4. Steam explosions blasted thousands of feet of surface rock as far away as southern Mexico.
5. Shockwaves drove deep water pockets and sand up creating a fan of numerous Sandstone Pipes.
6. Seconds later embedded asteroids impacted adding more violence to the chaos.
7. Interaction of Shock, piezoelectric activity and Magnetism - leisegang Lines, Iron Seams and Concretions.
NOTE: The oldest rocks described in the Mexico Basin are Cretaceous (112 Ma)limestones, overlaid by Oligocene (26.0 Ma) and Miocene (22.8–5.0 Ma) volcanic successions, followed by Pliocene-Pleistocene (3.7–1.2 Ma) to Recent volcanic rocks around the basin.

The Sevier orogeny was a mountain-building event that affected western North America from northern Canada to the north to Mexico to the south.
The Sevier orogeny was the result of convergent boundary tectonic activity, and deformation occurred from approximately 160 million years (Ma) ago [2] to around 50 Ma.[3] This orogeny was caused by the subduction of the oceanic Farallon Plate underneath the continental North American Plate.
The Sevier orogenic belt consisted of a series of thin plates along gently dipping west thrust sheets and moving from west to east.

There are many problems with this theory.
Thin-skinned deformation is a style of deformation in plate tectonics at a convergent boundary which occurs with shallow thrust faults that only involves cover rocks (typically sedimentary rocks), and not deeper basement rocks.[1]
The thin-skinned style of deformation is typical of many fold and thrust belts developed in the foreland of a collisional zone or back arc of a continental volcanic arc. This is particularly the case where a good basal decollement exists, usually in a weaker layer like a shale, evaporite, or a zone of high pore fluid pressure.[2] This was first described in Rocky Mountains of the United States, as part of the Sevier Orogeny.
In the rock record, this will increase the influence of more surficial rocks, which usually includes sedimentary rocks. Typically, you will see repeated sections of the same rock over and over as thrust faults, coming up from the decollement, stack the same layer on top of itself. The sediments that are created by this type of deformation are typically lithic sandstones.

Q: How can a plate subduction only affect surface rocks?
A: They can't!
Today Sevier faults at the surface have been broken up and tilted steeply from their original gently dipping positions due to the extension of the Basin and Range faulting. The earliest thrusts of the Sevier are located furthest west with each newer thrust cutting the older thrust. This pattern caused the older thrusts to ride on top of the younger thrusts as they moved eastward. The Paris-Willard thrust in Utah was determined to be the oldest thrust in the series using this pattern. The youngest thrust is the Hogback in Wyoming.
Subduction layers 10-50 miles deep cannot create that type of surface thrust faults!
Worst of all, the Farallon Plate was moving from west to east. The Sevier Orogeny was from the Northwest to the Southeast!

What Really happened:
The comet, probably traveling at the average of 20 miles per second, became entrapped in low earth orbit. It first struck the earth in northwestern Canada.There it shed tons of gold particles across the area.
13 thousand years ago another low orbit comet wiped out the mega fauna of western north America, leaving gold mixed in with trees and mammoth tusks being discovered now in the gold fields. many mammoths were blown into Siberia and buried in the ice.
Dumping elements from Friction, steam detonation, and gravity began reducing it's size and speed, but also severely compressed the land and produced surface thrust faults all the 2,000 miles to Utah where it finally ground to a stop perhaps a minute and a half after first contact.

Seismic waves travel at different speeds through different media, which forced blobs of water to become seismic drills, first driving away from the point of impact, then buoying toward the surface during after shocks, creating massive Sandstone Pipes.
Shortly after, another smaller piece ~ 50 miles in diameter on a path from southwest to northeast struck just south of there near Grants New Mexico.
When the comet made first contact in northwestern Canada it was just barely grazing the planet.
By the time a minute or so later the comet reached central Utah it was thrusting (plowing) ONE mile deep.
A few seconds later, On the other side of the Colorado River it was thrusting TWO miles deep!
I wish the above had been drawn from NW to SE, the true movement, but cross-wise will have to do for now.
NOTE that this happened at the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary as the Cretaceous sits flat on the folded layers. I (Dave C)reversed the chart below to allow viewing both sides of the cross-section, giving more insight into what happened.
Perhaps a minute later the comet reached mid Mexico where it removed all layers right down to Precambrian gneiss and schist.
The Cambrian remained in the Gulf of Mexico, but it was mashed down a mile (possibly several miles) below sea level.
The comet is the most likely source for the power that unleashed the 5 100" waves that covered Brazil at that time and shoved Africa away from South America.

The land continued to move and buckle to the southeast, creating the valleys that would become the Grand Canyon and Rio Grande.
