A set of geological samples of Cretaceous—Tertiary section taken from Zhongba county
Tibet
was studied with neutron activation technique. The preliminary experimental results reveal that the high concentration of iridium exists in the clay layer at the C-T boundary. On the basis of the anomaly of Ir
variation of CaCO
3
contents and REE abundance patterns
possible mechanisms were examined
among which the impact of extraterrestrial substance on the earth is very attractive.
