ex1317

About 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs suffered a mass extinction
 virtually overnight (in geologic time). Among many clues, one that
 all scientists regard as crucial is a layer of iridium-rich dust that
 was deposited over much of the earth at that time. The theory is that
 an event like a volcanic eruption or meteor impact caused a massive
 dust cloud that blanketed the earth for years killing off animals and
 their food sources. Dataset has Iridium depths by type of deposit.
