Title: Comparison of the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary impact events and the 0.77-Ma Australasian tektite event
First published: 1993
Description: Reinterpretation of iridium anomalies, shocked quartz, and microtektites attributed to cratering events in Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary sections. Evidence from the Ries crater of Germany and Australasian tektites is essential to understanding giant craters and mass extinction.
Subjects: Tektite, Extinction (Biology), Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, Mass extinctions
