Acknowledgements

We gratefully acknowledge S. V. Greene for first suggesting that quark nuggets might explain the geophysical evidence and W. F. Brinkman, Mark Boslough,  and D. J. Fegan for an especially helpful suggestions during this work; Peter van Doorn of the Tornado and Storm Research Organization, UK, for introducing us to the 1868 event; Mr. Josie (The Post) Duddy of County Donegal, Ireland, for showing us the 1985 event, Mr. Charlie Callahan of Glendowan for essential guidance and assistance from the point of view of local residents with rights to use this land. Mr. Cathal Moy and his associates were invaluable; without their knowledge of local soil conditions and exceptional skill with operating their excavators, the project could not have been accomplished. We appreciate Mr. and Mrs. William E. Gallagher of Meenawilligan, Emer Galligan, Kevin Rose, and David Daniels of Booze Allen Hamilton, Arlington, VA, for their assistance in the field work and Archivists Neve Brennan and Ciara Joyce for locating survey documents. We appreciate constructive critique and suggestions from P. Cooper, B. Carr, P. Joshi, P. Steinhardt, S. Carlip, J. Malenfant, V. V. Flambaum, O’Dean P. Judd, M. Vahle, E. McGuire, K. Holley-Bockelmann, and D. Finley but acknowledging them does not connote their knowledge of, much less approval of, the final content in this paper. In addition, the team is grateful to Harbor Master David Shearer of Utah State Parks, Ms. Jamie Phillips-Barnes of Utah State Lands, Mr. David Ghizzone and Mr. Chad Wadell of Gonzo Boat Rentals, Dr. Robert Baskin of the University of Utah, Dr. Cory Angeroth of the US Geological Survey for permitting and technical assistance, and to Dr. Karl VanDevender, Mr. Haydn Jones, Dr. Ed Atler, Mr. Karl Scheuch, Mr. Andrew Bloemendaal, Mr. Jonathon Cross, Mr. Red Atwood, Mr. James Bell, and Mr. Michael Rymer for technical support. Special thanks to Dr. Nancy VanDevender for contributions too numerous to count.
