摘要: The 80 km diameter Puchezh-Katunki impact crater is the only one of six largest known Phanerozoic craters that has not been previously considered as a factor in biotic extinction event. age currently regarded Bajocian (Middle Jurassic), on basis palynostratigraphy lake sediments, but there no significant Bajocian. Earlier K-Ar determinations impactites compared with current Jurassic time scale permit either end-Triassic or Early (Pliensbachian-Toarcian) was coeval crater. stratigraphical and paleontological record contains clues suggest an may have occurred at these horizons. needs reevaluation through 40Ar/39Ar dating rocks and/or revision palynology oldest fill. A definitive determination will help constrain impact-kill curve.
