  • Ir anomalies and other elemental markers near the Paleocene-Eocene boundary in a flysch sequence from the Western Tethys (Slovenia)
    Dolenec, Tadej ; Pavšič, Jernej ; Lojen, Sonja
    Ir abundance anomalies, platinum-group elements (PGE) enrichment and increasedconcentrations of meteoritic (Ni, Fe, Co) and nonmeteoritic (Sb, As, Zn and Cu) elements were found in the ... Palaeocene-Eocene (P/E) boundary interval in a flysch sequence from the Western Tethys (Goriska Brda section, W. Slovenia). This records one of the most important calcareous deep benthic extinctions in the history of the Earth. Although the observed geochemical patterns could indicate complex sources for these metals,such as weathering of the continental and oceanic crust, volcanic processes, as well as diagenetic mobilization and redistribution, we cannot preclude the highly speculative possibility that the observed Ir abundances may also indicate extraterrestrial contamination.
