The S2 impact was 50 to 200 times larger than the famous K-T impact, generating enough vaporized rock to create devastating conditions but also enriching Earth's early oceans with bioessential elements, resulting in a significant boost to early life.
Drabon and her team discovered that while the S2 impact generated catastrophic tsunamis and boiled the ocean's upper layer, it simultaneously provided essential nutrients like phosphorus, contributing to a bloom of life in nutrient-starved waters.
