Summary Introduction

To compare: The iridium content of boundary sequence with the sample taken 0.7 m above the sequence.

Introduction: The iridium is a chemical element that is abundantly present in the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary sequence. The iridium level in an average rock on Earth is about 0.4 ppb and also the iridium level in an average meteorite is about 550ppb. This allows the scientists to conclude whether the origin of the rocks is from Earth or from any other sources.
