Continental Impact Debris in the Eltanin Impact Layer
Abstract
We have found K feldspar microcrystites in the Eltanin impact layer in core ELT13-4. This implies that there was a simultaneous or previous continental impact to the oceanic Eltanin impact layer. These K feldspar spherules may be useful to provide a maximum age for the Eltanin impact event.
