Meet CHRIS
Chris Cottrell is an independent researcher and content creator dedicated to exploring Earth's geological anomalies, with a particular focus on the enigmatic Carolina Bays.
Chris Cottrell has garnered recognition for his in-depth investigations into geological formations and their historical significance. He is the creator of the YouTube channel "The Dabbler's Den," where he presents well-researched content on various geological and historical topics, aiming to shed light on Earth's lesser-known mysteries.
One of Chris's primary areas of interest is the study of the Carolina Bays - elliptical depressions along the Atlantic seaboard of the United States. Through his meticulous research, Chris has has investigated the cosmic origins of the Carolina Bays - whose origins are still hotly debated within the scientific community.
Contrary to Antonio Zamora’s position on these geographic mysteries, Chris takes the position that they were caused by a much earlier cosmic impact event than that proposed by the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis.
A seasoned Cosmic Summit speaker, Chris takes a scientific approach and applies critical examination to carefully study geographic anomalies in an attempt to bridge the gap between mainstream geology and alternative theories.
This year, Chris will be joined on stage by fellow Carolina Bay investigator Antonio Zamora, and attendees can expect an intellectual conversation about the origins of these elliptical enigmas.
Meet ANTONIO
Antonio Zamora is a multidisciplinary scientist and author renowned for his extensive research into the Carolina Bays, offering innovative perspectives on their origins and significance.
Antonio Zamora holds a diverse academic background in chemistry and computer science. He studied chemistry at the University of Texas and pursued Computer and Information Science at Ohio State University. Throughout his career, Zamora has contributed significantly to various fields, including computational linguistics and information retrieval systems. His innovative work has earned him 13 patents.
In retirement, Zamora has focused on geological phenomena, particularly the Carolina Bays - elliptical depressions along the Atlantic coastal plain of North America, many of which feature in the landscape of North Carolina.. His investigations led to the publication of several influential works, including Solving the Mystery of the Carolina Bays (2015) and The Neglected Carolina Bays: Ubiquitous Geological Evidence of a Cataclysm (2020). In these publications, he proposes that the Carolina Bays resulted from secondary impacts of glacier ice ejected by a meteorite impact on the Laurentide Ice Sheet approximately 12,800 years ago, challenging traditional theories of their formation.
Zamora's research has been recognized in peer-reviewed journals, notably his paper "A model for the geomorphology of the Carolina Bays," published in Geomorphology (2017). He also shares his findings through his YouTube channel, where he discusses the geomorphology of the Carolina Bays and their implications for understanding Earth's geological history.
Antonio’s work is highly relevant to the discussions around evidence for the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis, which is one of the central themes of Cosmic Summit. By examining the Carolina Bays as evidence of a significant extraterrestrial impact event, Zamora provides insights into how such cataclysms have shaped Earth's geological and biological history. His hypothesis suggests that the impact event contributed to the Younger Dryas cooling period and the extinction of megafauna, offering a fresh perspective on human prehistory and the environmental challenges faced by early civilizations.
