contents Anomalously high values of Ir have been detected in association with the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary in about a dozen marine or continental sections laid down about 65 Ma in many different parts of the world (Alvarez et al., 1981). One possible exception is the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary region in DSDP Site 356, in the South Atlantic off the coast of South America. In a detailed study of that section, the maximum Ir abundance was about 0.2 ppb, much lower than the 3-90 ppb found in most of the other marine locations (authors' unpublished data on the Cretaceous/Tertiary region of Site 356, 1982). A study of Hole 516F, which is not too far from Site 356, could show whether the very low (or missing) Cretaceous/Tertiary Ir anomaly at Site 356 is characteristic of this region of the South Atlantic.
