Properties, Classification, and Genetic Interpretation of the Allochthonous Impact Formations of the ICDP Chicxulub Drill Core YAX-1
Abstract
The Chicxulub drill core exposes 100 m of suevite-type breccias consisting of 6 layered units. The upper four layers are interpreted as ballistic "fall out" suevite and the lower two units may represent ground surged and laterally transported polymict, melt-rich clastic material.
