Solar System Signatures of Impacts by Compact Ultra Dense Objects    [PDF]

Johann Rafelski, Jeremey Birrell, Lance Labun
We investigate the hypothesis that dark matter is found in compact ultra dense objects with nuclear density or greater (CUDOs). We discuss signatures of CUDOs' collision with the Earth and other rocky bodies in the solar system. Some of these signatures can persist over geologic time, meaning that solar system rocky bodies are integrating detectors of dark matter in CUDO form. We discuss CUDO impacts which have the potential to resolve some geological riddles and help explain catastrophic events which marked the evolution of life on Earth.
