The Cretaceous –Tertiary impact K-T boundary Walter Alvarez 1940- Luis Alvarez 1911- 1988 The Chicxulub Impact structure buried beneath the Yucatan Peninsula has 150 - 300 km in diameter Age dates of melt rock in the structure have at date of 65 Ma. The K-T boundary. The arrow indicates a layer of Iridium rich ash. Iridium is rare on the surface of the earth but much more common in Chondrite meteors
Extinctions at the K-T boundary were not evenly distributed across taxa 15% of all marine families went extinct, 50 % at generic level, maybe 80-90 % of all species. Affected were mainly plankton, marine predators, and shallow water communities. 25 % of terrestrial families and 56 % at generic level went extinct. Nothing bigger than 25 kg survived (predators and herbivores). However, dinosaur and pterosaurdiversity declined even before the impact. Probably the impact wiped out the last survivors. Unaffected were higher plants (10% extinction), mammals (rise of 20%), and birds.
Cretaceous and Paleogene saw • an enormous diversification of • Angiospermes (floweringplants) • Holometabolicinsects (Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera) • mammals • birds • snails • probablylizards • probablyfish • a decline in diversity of • Gymnospermes (conifers) • Brachiopoda • the extinction of • Ammonites • Belemnites • Pterosaurs • Dinosaurs Global species richness of dinosaurs Reports of survivingdinosaursarehighlycontroversial.
