Asteroid impact vs. Deccan eruptions: The origin of low magnetic susceptibility beds below the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary revisited

The respective roles of an asteroid impact and Deccan Traps eruptions in biotic changes at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary are still debated. In many shallow marine sediments from around the world, the K–Pg boundary is marked by a distinct clay layer that is often underlain by a several dec...
