  • Title: Inquiring into indicators and origin of catastrophic events at stratigraphic boundaries.
    Author: Zhang Q, Xu D.
    Journal: J Southeast Asian Earth Sci; 1996; 13(3-5):373-8. PubMed ID: 12747349.
    Abstract:
    Since 1982, numerous indicators of catastrophic events have been observed at the main stratigraphic boundaries in China during the Phanerozoic, i.e. Precambrian-Cambrian, Permian-Triassic, Cretaceous-Tertiary as well as Ordovician-Silurian and Devonian-Carboniferous boundaries. These markers are boundary clay layer, microspherules, high Ir anomaly, mass extinction of organisms and impact of meteorite. We support the hypothesis of the extraterrestrial origin of catastrophic events and suggest that the events at different stratigraphic boundaries might be different in features and processes.
