Hi Sterling, all - From the article: Another possibility is that the impacting objects were comets rather than asteroids, and contained much less osmium to begin with. But chemical traces of the impactors left behind in rocks and reported in previous studies suggest otherwise. The last I

According to Cr and Mn isotopic analyses of KTB samples, the impactor was a carbonaceous chondrite - see report at: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/impact2000/pdf/3041.pdf Ted Bunch On 4/13/08 7:48 AM, E.P. Grondine [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Sterling, all - From the article:

Hi Sterling - I would imagine a lot of the cosmic osmium would have been sequestered in the impact spherules. The KT fossil meteorite seems to have been ignored by this group, so How would you determine the composition of what hit? First, take samples from around the crater. Then working from
