Geochemistry of sediments from the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary

Listed in PANGAEA

Siderophilic element concentrations are high in sediments from the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary.

Description

An extraterrestrial source is indicated. Concentrations are too high to be understood in terms of the impact of a chondritic asteroid.

Either the projectile was a metal-sulphide core or the infalling material (probably weak cometary matter) was slowed down during atmospheric passage.
