Paleoclimate: Oligocene Epoch and P-Tr Boundary

Could a galactic in plane quasar precession be causal to the central bar and galactic arms? The Oligocene temperature notch may be ‘a smoking gun’. The Oligocene was an epoch of few new fauna speciation, which indicates a global environment detrimental to diversity. The loss of Heliosphere shielding and exposure to Gamma Ray and X-ray could cause global cloud cover cooling. The Heliosphere can be reduced by the impact of high velocity interstellar material with a density range of kilo particles per cubic centimeter (Frisch, 2007). VLA galactic mapping (Georgelin, 1976) shows the origins of each arm approximately along the extended Galactic Bar axis. Quasar black hole 3C321 (NASA, 2007) emits a relativistic beam to a 20,000ly distant galaxy, causing star formation. For a central bar angular recession rate from Sol of 0.86(0.1) degree per million years also aligned to the Oligocene (33.5Ma), puts present angle of the central bar at 29 degrees lead relative to Sol (JPL indicates 32 degrees) and a central bar Sol interception interval of 210M-years. In coincidence, Sol is known to have a 64M-year oscillation about the galactic plane. A sinusoidal with a period of 64M-years has a 0.9 z-axis of 51.7 degrees (9.2M-years). So, to first order we see a 10M-year Sol dwell time at each of the 90% z-axis north and south apogees. Sol is presently rising north through the galactic plane at about 50/250^th maximum z-axis height. The Oligocene (33.5Ma) was then in the galactic plane region. The 220M-year Planetay  Equidistant Rupture (PER, (Kvet, 1991) hits the Oligocene (33.5Ma) the P-Tr (251Ma). Also, a sinusoidal 64 M-year wave aligned to the galactic plane crossing (Sol, 5 Ma), and the P-Tr 251Ma approximates to 3.4 cycles of 64M-years. At the Permian Triassic extinction, Sol was in the 10M-year northern apogee region. The 220M-year also intercepts the middle Ordovician Epoch before leaving the entire Phanerozoic Era, a coincidental central plane position would indicate a galactic resonance. All the remaining eight Phanerozoic Geologic Periods have a collective 70M-year period to a standard deviation of 9M-years. If these correspond to arm intercepts then the Oligocene, Permian and Ordovician end dates are in intra-arm voids. The Permian intra-arm position compounded by a z-axis apogee would be in a region of extreme minimal Galactic shielding against an approaching Virgo Cluster extra-galactic bow shock. There is one more caveat, the P-Tr position would be between minor arm (Crux-Scutum) and a spur arm (unnamed), further exasperating earth’s celestial Gamma-Ray exposure.

Thought I would present an abstract of the research I have been at...following the Galactic Geologic Interval Theory posted in the Astronomy Archives. Perhaps I will hear from the web friends that participated in that fun expedition?

Overlay of JPL optical galactic map with Georgelin Astron & Astrophys 49,57-79(1976). VLA Hydrogen Mapping.

Diametric mirrored Georgelin overlay on NASA/JPL artists Galaxy Map. Overlay is black, spur arms are added in gray, as well as the gray labels. JPL places the Central Bar at a 32 degree to Sol. Sol is on the orange orbital path in the Orion Arm. Author has maintained naming convention, joining the Norma-Cygnus label based on a diametric structure, JPL has renamed the Scutum to Scutum-Centaurus. Notice: origins of all the arms are along the central bar vector line.

So, how soon before the next arm slaps us in the face?

Looking at the start of this glacial period....after the Oligocene...we are emerging from the inside edge of of the Orion Arm. The ISM mapping shows the Orion Arm will slap a bit more. This is on the order of Million Years. I am looking for a web reference and will amend this paragraph  with the link when I find it...

Central Bar Nemesis Interval 

The 210M-year Central Bar alignment places SOL in a galactic light speed particle beam, equivalent to the 3C321 system. This is referred to as a Central Bar Nemesis Interval; and it cuts across the Phenerozoic Era at three dates; (28Ma) Oligocene, (238Ma) Permian and late (448Ma) Ordovician. 

Kvet (1991) charted an approximated 220M-year geotectonic interval period extending to 4600Ma. He proposed Plate tectonic movement peaks at 220M-year (X ²=4.6) that correlate with a Phanerozoic ice age pattern. The last geotectonic interval ice age in the Eocene (35Ma) produced the present continental configuration. Within the Phanerozoic Era, Kvet’s 1991 model, modified to 210M (X ²=1.8) more exactly correlates with two major Geologic Period inter arm extinction events, Permian (251Ma) and Ordovician (443Ma). Most significantly, Permian started very hot (GW runaway), and ended in a deep Ice Age as witnessed by an extreme Global Ocean Level depression. While volcanism is a prime mover for Ice Age, observance of tectonic activity (Kvet) may be the result of the volcanic process assuming more significance as a geologic mechanism. A Central Bar light-speed hydrogen gas beam would effectively uncover the Earth heliosphere shield, resulting in an ice age temperature depression, and the Oligocene cold temperature notch. With temperature drops we have Antarctic Galciation events that harbor 40 or so feet of Sea Levels, and more significantly press down on the  South Pole of the Globe, expanding the elevation of the equatorial region. During the Oligocene Temperature notch, the Florida region rose. Expansion of the equatorial surface would open up surface to volcanic flow. Kvet PER is that result. This effect also would have ended a P-Tr Global Thermal Runaway Event with a deep Ice Age. Per Svensmark "The Chilling Stars" the Antarctic cosmic ray temperature causal has a inverse relationship to equatorial and Antarctic temperature. Svensmark indicates cloud cover as Earth’s global temperature driver correctly model's our environment. However, the book shows a general temperature increase when looking at an average of the Antarctic versus equatorial-arctic temperatures. This, imho, indicates another causal, perhaps CO2. This would provide a driver that increases the volume of Antarctic ice, distorting the globe, driving plate tectonics, yielding a periodic equidistant rupture.

Geologic ocean level histogram of the Phanerozoic Era. As polar caps expand (glaciating) the polar mass causes the Earth to bulge (at the equator). Ocean level marks P-Tr (Permian-Trassic) extinction. This also shows elasticity, as the Earth slowly rebounds. The Oligocene Temperature Notch started with the Central Arm particle beam, and persisted until the La Garita Caldera vulcanic explosion. The temperature plot in this epoch shows a general temperature decline, interrupted by the temperature notch. It is my contention that the La Garita Caldera event exceeded the elasticity limits, causing the Earth to rebound to the prevailing solar thermal environment.

 Geologic Period Central Bar Alignment Method

Milky Way 2+2+2 diametric structure correlated to Geologic Periods is discernable by the tight pairing of the associated periods. For brevity, the unnamed Orion diametric is labeled shaver. In this chart, the 180 degree geologic pairing is along the rows. The columns provide date alignment, showing a 210M-year periodicity for the Geologic Periods pairing. Any deviations from 210M-year have footnotes to indicate causes. Proportionality is used to derive arm to arm spacing in thousands of light years (Kly).

 

I think this is in error. I will revise...morbas 4MAR2009 

Where as the ocean level changes caused by Antarctic and Greenland Ice melts are related to Ocean Volume and simplistic Ocean levels; I propose that the elastic mantel would further exasperate the sea levels at the equatorial regions. I begin my analysis by scaling the entire ocean to polar glaciating, and then use proportion to scale the P-Tr event. I propose that water volume of polar ice melt is half of the equatorial ocean shift.

Radius of Earth 6,358KM

Mass of Oceans 1/4400 Mass of Earth

Its average depth is 3,790 meters

Mass of Mantel, 83% mass of Earth

Assuming complete Ocean Glaciation into the N/S Poles,

The Earth equator would bulge 1/4400 * 6,358 * (1/0.83) x 1.5 = 2.6 KM.

Where the mass transported to the poles would be 1/4400 earth mass, in proportioned to the radius of 6,358KM, where the Mantel would presumably shift to normalize the pressure, consisting of 83% or the Earth mass. The 1.5 multiplier is caused by the loss of equatorial mass in relation to the Polar mass increase

During the P-Tr the ocean dropped 200M. So to first approximation 140M or so of this shift could be due to the sea volume, and 70M due to mantel shift. This is a significant distance, and although P-Tr represents a very significant event, geologic sea level changes are significant fractions of the P-Tr.

To re-state the finding, 1) equatorial ocean level changes calculated on water volume are doubled because of Earth's elastic mantel. 2) Geologic temperature calculations are in part based on Ocean Levels. The temperature change is then much less than they may have calculated. Thus the effect of GW is exasperated by a additional 0.7 x factor at the equatorial regions (1.7x total). As a hypothesized extrapolation, this kind of mantel movement will cause increased earthquake and volcanism activity. We may have a multiplier that causes the PER.

Look at this image of Centaurus A black star hole jet, and especially the contrail of star formation. The jet ejecta rate is moving at 0.5 c (0.5 speed of light). The contrail of stars indicates a black hole precession that looks like a Galactic Arm at both ends. This could be the early stage of a Central Bar Galaxy formation?

In ASTRO's answer about what causes a Galactic Bars, he used an published explanation that almost predates by college and high school era. It does not begin to address Central Bar type structure particularily our Milky Way Galaxy. I will say this is typical for the gothic conservative nature of ASTRONOMY.

 

morbas : Good observation, I made this assumption about 25 years ago when I said the black hole built the galaxies.

primordial:

Have you accumulated any notes and/or referrences on this subject?

What is your opinion of  'Geologic Period Central Bar Alignment Method' section of in this thread? Do you agree with the relative precession rate of 0.9 degree/M-year of the central bar relative to Sol Galatic orbital rate?

 

morbas  : Yes, I agree there exists the possibility of precesion, just how much remains to be observed, I would think some of the torque might be due to large ejectors at extreem high velocities.

We are at a solar wind minimum, which causes a global cooling effect. This is due to increased cosmic ray flux, resulting in a high cloud cover, causing higher reflection of the sun's solar input. This contradicts arguements about the present global warming being a natural cycle. In my humble opinion (IMHO) we need to eliminate CO2 emissions in preparation for the next solar maximum, which will become a significant global warming cycle. 

Please read http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2009/01apr_deepsolarminimum.htm .

IMHO, increased cosmic ray in-flux is negatively impacting everyone's health.

HI Mo,

 I see that you haven't given up, and I'm glad to see more interesting posts from your hypothesis of past extinction events and a Galactic connection.

Has your work been reviewed by the other Scientific fields, such as Paleontology Geology, and Astrophysics yet?

Your extensive work in this area really keeps me interested in this possibility, and it's a scenario that is not hard to understand.  But how can Science verify your excellent hypothesis  with only a partial Geological record?

Isn't the Density of the gravitational scalar field in question at the moment? And if so How would this complicate matters with your Hypothesis?

Please point me in the right direction.

Dennis

 

As you may notice, I am delving into Geology a bit. However Geology is about the effects and not about causality. All this science can say is at the correlation level this occurrs together, enough  to show x and y correlate. Astrophysics in my hypothesis is about the Heliosphere. It moves about with galactic winds, and exposure to the 'bow shock' is regulated by Sol northerly Z-Axis position. GGIT places Sol between a minor and a spur arm at the P-Tr extinction and at the Galctic Central Bar alignment. The effect of loosing the Sol Heliosphere may have caused a maximum in GW, or perhaps Global Cooling, I wish I could project a winner. But as we look futher back in time, the details get blurry. By chance, GGIT also indicates we were aligned with the central bar 30Ma (million years ago) at the Oligocene temperature notch. We can see a great mount of detail by combining Geologic chemical measurements across the world. We had a global ice age (cooling) at that time. Sol was at the Galactic plane between a spur and minor arm pair, so we can pick up on one hypothetical severity data point. This all becomes Paleontology at some point, as this science is about causality.

I am re-writting GGIT, but the research methodology requires a large consumption of papers and that taxes my $$$$ budget. And I have not event touched the gravitational wave prognosis, except at a fundamental level and IMHO, I am not convinced of it. However, I have just as a crazy idea about particles and Synergetics.

---------------------------------------------------

I am studying every Period in the 70Myear period grouping. Many papers support that the Cretaceaus Paleocene-Neocene boundary was a deep cooling interval of time. It may be that the KT bolloid event ended reptilian dominance, rather then defining the Cretaceaus Paleocene boundary.

The Permian Period appears to me to be very warm global jungle/swamp period, most of the sea water being land locked fresh water volume. The P-Tr boundary may have been an anoxic ocean gas release. What ever the process, this environment changed drastically as witnessed by increasing sea volume in the Triassic Period. IMHO morbas

-------------13June2009---------------------

The Triassic-Jurassic extinction has simularities to P-Tr in the Detrended Calcite measurements depicted in 'Celestrial driver of Phanerozoic climate?' Shaviv 2003. Also, the Tr-J boundary (146Ma) occurrs about 55M-Years after the P-Tr (251Ma). Given tht 10M-year period of maximal Northerly Galactic Z-Axis exposure (every 60M-year), association with Gamma Ray bow shock is possible. This leads to agreement with recent publications that the Orion Twin arm is very thin-undetected at present; the Orion twin is a spur arm as well.

PS(1): The P-Tr and the Tr-J events both have negative detrended calcite transitions, different from the other seven GGIT arm Period overlays.

PS(2): The Detrended Calcite graph appears to show a multiple wave overlay. But, I would not venture to extrapolate a 140M-year interval from reducing this by averaging as Shaviv did. Further more, the Geologic Perods transitions appear to jitter around the 70M-year intervals, so these terminators themselves have a noise terms. Modeling continues....

Lets take this one point at a time.

If we subtract the PER geologic terminators in the Phanerozoic we end up with eight intervals with an average period of 70M-year std deviation 9M. If we further group these in triples, we get 210M-year std dev 9M-year. The triple groups correlate with the 2+2+2 Galactic structure. The central bar is at 30 degrees lead to Sol Galactic Orbit position. That leads to a 0.86 (0.1) degree / million year recession rate on two counts. The galactic structure and the Oligocene Intercept. VLA HII mapping of the galaxy, overlay on the JPL optical mapping confirms all the arms start along the central bar axis projection.

Understanding this you have a model of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Hello,,,I recently ran the Geochronological numbers. When measuring Geologic Periods across six non-PER periods I ended up with near zero deviation. That is, in a statistic sense, the Periods appear to be completely predictable,  This analyis was made possible due to the Kvet Paper and the recent Thorn paper, placing the end Cretacious at 71Mya (million years ago), 7 million years before the Yucatan Bolloid event.  Here it is for your comments....

GeoChronology

Abstract:

The Milky Way Galaxy Central Bar is rotating 0.86 degrees faster than our Sol Galactic Orbit. Each of the six arms  individually intercepts Sol  every 417M-years (1). Collectively, we intercept each arm at a 70M-year (std dev. 14) rate. Interleaved to this, are the 220M-year Planetary Equidistant Ruptures (vulcanism) spanning Earths existence.

Discussion:

The ICS Phanerozoic Era geologic periods consist of two processes. The Planetary Equidistant Rupture (PER) [1] is a 220M-year geotectonic cycle that extends back 4.6B-years. It hits three Phanerozoic periods, Oligocene [neotectonic], Permian-Triassic [alpine] and Ordovician [hercynian]. The remaining Phanerozoic Paleobiologic Period terminator’s [2] have a 70M-year interval to a 10M-year standard deviation. These break down into three pairs (2+2+2) of 210M-year with a standard deviation of 9M-year: tabulated below.

• PER [Kvet, 1991] is a 220My interval, Oligocene (neotectonic 30Mya), P-Tr (alpine 250Mya), Ordovician (hercynian 470Mya). Out side of discussion …caledonian 690Mya…
• Remaining ICS Periods:
• Paleogene (-2Mya) Triassic (199Mya) Silurian (416Mya)) : 209 +/-1.
• Cretaceous (66Mya[71Mya]) Carboniferous (299Mya) Cambrian (488Ma): 213 +/-12).
• Jurassic (145Mya) Devonian (354Mya) Pre-Cambrian (542Mya): 200 +/- 10.
• Three Arm Avg : 210 std dev 14  9 . 
• [1]Kvet, Complete Periodical Geological TimeTable, GeoJournal 24.2 417-420, August 1991.
• [2] ICS Phanerozoic Geologic Time Scale

The pattern shows that the Cretaceous Paleogene date probably occurred earlier than the Chixulab 65Mya KT bolloid. This hinted by Seymour Island temperature depression (glaciation) some 71Mya[3]. The Chixulab bolloid may have insured mammalian dominance, a reptilian genotype terminator rather than a KT boundary.

• [3] Thorn: Terminal Cretaceous climate change and biotic response in Antarctic; USGS OF-2007-1047 Extended Abstract 096.

The intervals assume near zero standard deviation when taken to six period intervals. This extends across the entire Phanerozoic Eon.

• (Paleogene to Silurian)/6 = 69.3M-year
• (Cretaceous [70Mya] to Cambrian = 69.7M-year [KT masking event adjusted]
• (Jurassic to Pre-Cambrian) = 66.2M-year. ['Polar Wanderer'-'Explosion of Life' proposes a 19M-year event][4] in the Cambrian period second quarter (Early Cambrian). The 70M-year period hits Vendian Zone II {Varangian-Ediacaran terminus} 565Mya. The Varanger-Marinoan snow ball earth ice age (605-585Mya) was some 30M-year earlier.  This is outside the Phanerozoic Eon. Included for completeness only.
• The Devonian Period will reach 417Mya status in 58Myear, and statisticaly we will have the end of the next Period that is starting as of a million years ago. This 58Myear has a 11Myear offset from the 69M-year average. This shows the cause of the raw average standard deviation of 9M-years. Looking at the above Galactic Map, we also see the Orion Arm is closer to the Norma Arm than the Scutum-Centaurus Arm. (Now the naming convention of the arms is different, but according to the IAS, the Galactic Arm naming is 'consensus only, with no official naming standard.'  The above map is referenced.)

Assertion:

A six period periodicity is in congruence with the Milky Way 2+2+2 arm structure, a symmetrical central bar a galactic arm pair structure. Each Intra-Arm travel (Orion to Orion, Perseus to Perseus, Cygnus to Cygnus)is very precise, as the above analysis shows a single arm 417M-year period with little deviation for three of the six arms. In another 58M-year the Cybergian (next) Period will end.

Using http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/milkyway.html consensus map as a reference structure: Period Arm pairing follows: end Paleogene-Silurian [Orion], Cretaceous-Cambrian [Perseus], Jurassic-Pre-Cambrian [Cygnus], Triassic [un-named Orion symmetric pair], and Carboniferous [Scutum-Crux]. Devonian [Sagittarius].

Caveats:

1) With the six level pair at 416M-year period around the Galaxy arms, we get +0.865 degrees/M-year relative motion of Central Bar to the Sol. This is independent derivation leading to the Oligocene global temperature notch as aligning with the central bar zero degree extension.

2) Angular overlay of the Period Transistions are fairly close to Sol orbital intersection with the VLA mapping of the Galactic Arms (atleast for the near side arms). IMHO, and it is my goal, inclusion of Comptom Wavelength red shift will correct the far side arm position into agreement with the 417M-year projections.

The following table shows all the geologic Periods not associated with the Planetary Equidisdant Rupture (Kvet) events. I have parsed then first one by one, then in triples, and finaly in sixes. The triples represent sets of arms and their diametric pairs. The six sets represent each arm's reacurrence, ERGO Orion Arm to Orion Arm interval. The six sets, including the latest geologic evidence show an exact interval in the two cases within the Phanerzoic Era. Two other cases are one projected and one associated with one period in the Pre-Cambrian Era. From this, we can see that some conflict with between Carboniferous, the Pennsylvanian Mississipian Peroid determinations (this is a recent conflict between European and American Continental geologists)[1]. The latests geological evidence indicates the end Cretaceous was 71M-year-ago, predating the Yucatan Bolliod event by some 6M-years. This coorelation projects the 71Mya will prevail.

The Cyberzoic Period[1] is set to begin (as of 1 to 2Mya) and will end in 58M-years (when the Devonian reaches 415-417 Mya of age). The Spelbergian Age is the lower Holocene Epoch.
