This was very exciting but I needed to know if this was a local event or a worldwide one. After further analysis, iridium had been found at the K-T boundary in other parts of the world. I now had good reason to believe that a meteor had hit the Earth. Another interesting development that I never had thought of was what a meteor would do to rock formations and the evidence that it would leave behind. A man named Bruce Bohor helped the hypothesis by reporting that shocked quartz was found at crater sites and around them.
Shocked quartz is the resultant of high pressure befalling upon ordinary quartz.
It was clear now that a meteor had indeed hit the Earth because of the iridium and now the shock quartz. The next part of my quest required me to study dinosaur and plant fossils. Unfortunately, I was able to find very little evidence that dinosaurs died directly from a meteor impact. However, one interesting thing that someone told me was that. The fossil record was clear in that large dinosaurs were below the iridium line and smaller ones can only be found above it.
