Abstract
The suggestion is made that air showers with energies beyond the Greis en-Zatsepin-Kuz'min spectral cutoff may have primary vertices some 6 k m lower in height than those of proton initiated showers with energies below the GZK cutoff. This estimate is based on the assumption that p ost-GZK showers are due to neutrinos having acquired strong interactio ns from generation-changing dual gluon exchange as recently proposed.
