A large number of microtektites have been found in deep-sea sediments since the 1960s, but analyses of trace elements in microtektitebearing layers have seldom been reported, with the exception that Asaro et al. stated that microtektite-bearing layers in Caribbean Gulf exhibited anomaly of Ir (?).

Here, the authors present measurements for grain size distribution of loess samples taken around the microtektite-bearing layers at very dense sampling intervals.展开更多
