Rhenium-osmium isotope evidence for the onset of volcanism in the central Panthalassa Ocean during the Norian “chaotic carbon episode”
The late Norian “chaotic carbon episode” in the Late Triassic has been identified in North

Ruthenium isotopes show the Chicxulub impactor was a carbonaceous-type asteroid
An impact at Chicxulub, Mexico, occurred 66 million years ago, producing a global
stratigraphic layer that marks the boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene …
