The~790 ka Australasian(micro)tektite strewn field is one of the most recent and best-known examples of impact ejecta emplacement as the result of a large-scale cratering event across a considerable part of Earth's su...
The presence of glass microspherules enclosing relict grains, shattered quartz and silicon carbide in white sandstone beds near the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary in west central Sinai indicates a cosmic impact event. C...
The present study confirms the stratigraphical position of microtektite layer being clearly located below the Brunhes/Matuyama (B/M) boundary. Based on the sedimentation rate derived from the stable isotopic and magne...

This is a preliminary study on the microtektites that were found in large numbers from the interval between 7.80 and 8.10 m depth of core S095-17957-2 (10°53.9’N, 115°18.3’E, water depth 2 195 m), northern Nansha ...
Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and Lab of Loess and Quaternary Geology at Xi'an, Academia Sinica.
It is first in continental sediment-loess that 16 microtektites and 3 ablated glassy Si-Mg microspherules were found. They occur only in the upper layer of L8, a 40—70-cm horizon above the B/M boundary. The age of de...
Dongling Mountain is the highest one of the Beijing West Mountains. There is a layer of subalpine meadow soil about 0.50 m thick at the top of the mountain, of which the basement rock is the Jurassic andesite. A secti...
