Iridium and shocked quartz found at the K–T boundary (Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary) are investigated which leads to the belief that an asteroid strike on the Yucatán Peninsula was responsible for the extinction.
The study shows that the asteroid, while having a severe initial impact, did not immediately kill off the dinosaurs - instead slowly killing them off over a few years.
